the CLD and ACLD, shall be elected for three (3) year terms. Three (3) classes
of seven (7) persons each that consist of both lay and clergy will be elected
by the community at an annual meeting in November of each year. Pre/Post walk
lay directors of one (1) year shall be involved in the board and each has one
vote.
Article IV, Section 3, D
CLD/ACLD Terms of
Office: The term of
service for the CLD and ACLD may be extended one (1) year in those positions,
if the CLD and/or ACLD choose to accept the additional year of service. The CLD will serve one (1) year as the past
CLD advisor to the board upon election of a new CLD.
Article IV, Section 9
Standing Committees: The Board of Directors shall name
members to chair the following committees: Gatherings, 4th/Group
Reunion, Chrysalis, Registration, Set Up/Take Down, Newsletter,
Procurement/Service Coordinator, Candlelight/Sponsor's Hour, Team
Selection/Nominating, Music/Entertainment, Web Master, Community/Pilgrim
Outreach, Agape, and Community Training. Special committees may be named as deemed
necessary by the leadership of the community.
Article VI, Section 7
Pilgrim Minimum: Due to the high cost of an Illinois
Prairieland Walk to Emmaus weekend, a minimum of seven (7) Pilgrims must be
registered two (2) weeks prior to the scheduled start date for a given
weekend. In the event that the minimum
number is not attained, then the walk will be cancelled and the registrar will
contact the pilgrims. The weekend
leadership shall be responsible for contacting the team.
Article VI, Section 8
Minimum Serving Age: Anyone who has attended an approved
three day weekend (ARTICLE III, Section 2) and is eighteen (18) years of age by
the start of the weekend may serve on an Illinois Prairieland Walk to Emmaus
team in any position for which he or she is qualified.
Article VI, Section 9
Minimum Pilgrim Age: Currently, Illinois Prairieland Walk
to Emmaus does not have a Journey community.
Therefore, IPWE will allow Pilgrims who have reached the age of eighteen
(18) by the start of the weekend for which he or she wishes to attend, to
participate as a Pilgrim in a walk.
