The Committee on Nominations is pleased to present a slate of officers for 2025 which we think is excellent and will serve North Georgia Conference United Women in Faith well as we go through another redistricting transition and gear up for continued service in mission in new and familiar ways in the name of Christ.

The election of new officers will take place at the conference annual meeting Oct. 5 at Wesley Chapel UMC in McDonough.  The slate is headed by presidential nominee Jessica Godfrey.  Jessica has served well and long in the district and on the conference level, most recently four years as conference vice president and before that as conference social action coordinator.

The slate has new nominees for almost all positions on the executive team.  Some current officers will continue to serve in a new capacity and some nominees are new to the executive team.

To all of those who agreed to be on the slate for 2025, we give profound thanks for their willingness to serve and their commitment to United Women in Faith.  We also give profound thanks to our retiring officers who have served so well and so faithfully.  Leading this group is Stephanie Dressler, our president for four years, who will continue serving our organization through her new position as a director of the national organization. 

The North Georgia Conference United Women in Faith has always been blessed with excellent leadership, and the CON believes it will continue in the same vein with the slate of nominees for 2025.
