Nominee study-aid caution

This Nominees reader is an AI-assisted, file-extracted study aid. It is not the official ballot, not an official LCMS nominee resource, and not a voting recommendation. Extraction tools can miss names, misplace candidates, omit cross-listed offices, mismatch photos, or format details incorrectly. Always verify every nominee name, office, region, board, commission, page number, and ballot detail against the official LCMS nominee publication and final convention ballot before making voting judgments.

I have been honored to serve on the Board of Regents for CUNE for the last three years. During that time, I have served on the strategic planning committee and am currently chair of the committee. If reelected, I would expect to continue progress on the current strategic plan and assist the staff and board in the process of establishing the next strategic plan for CUNE. I have a particular interest in continuing the emphasis on the preparation of servant leaders for the church and world.
