WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP AWARDS
About Women in Leadership Awards
Women in Leadership Awards were established in 2020 to be given annually through the ECC Ministerium to women leaders as a way to honor and celebrate the gift of women leaders, preachers, and advocates to the whole Body of Christ. They are awarded at the Ministerium Annual Meeting.
​
All nominations must be women who are members in good standing of the ECC Ministerium, have been active in ministry for at least ten years, are not employed full-time by Covenant Offices, and have not received this same award previously. Diverse candidates with experience representative of our ECC Affirmations and practiced in the Six-Fold Test are encouraged. Each award will include a stipend of $1,000.00, financial support to attend the Ministerium Annual Meeting to receive the award, and being recognized throughout our church leadership. Nominations will be weighed and award recipients chosen by a committee of Ministerium Officers - Executive Board members, Mosaic Commission representatives, and ACCW and CBGE representatives.
