“Each congregation, fellowship or specialized ministry in the il/wi district of the church of the brethren names a delegate to the district meeting which is held annually. The delegates represent their home church and vote on the business of the district. During that district meeting, they close the regular meeting and open the annual meeting of pinecrest. The ceo provides a written report, gives a verbal report and provides copies of our yearly financial statements to the delegates. The delegates are given an opportunity to ask questions to the ceo and then close the annual meeting of pinecrest and reopen the district meeting. They do this for each of the district's nursing homes and church camps. During the business meeting of the district, they approve any new pinecrest board members who are also church of the brethren members. They also approve any pinecrest board members who are entering a second or third term on the board who are church of the brethren members.”
