Women of the ELCA has selected 15 women to serve as triennial gathering promoter (TGPs) for its July 13-16, 2017, event in Minneapolis. Training will take place in Minneapolis Nov. 6-8, and the women will be ready to serve in 2016.
Requirements included having attended at least one gathering and being an active participant in a congregational unit of Women of the ELCA. As part of the interview process, the women submitted a 2-minute video that included a story about why they love Women of the ELCA and why they would make a good promoter.
Candidates are expected to be comfortable speaking in public, enthusiastic about travel and have hands on knowledge of social media.
