SIC tracking inclusivity
At the 2001 South Annual Conference session, the following trends and recommendations were noted by volunteer monitors from the Commission on the Status and Role of Women and the Conference Commission on Religion and Race:
-
White male clergy dominated conference proceedings.
-
Among the laity, men spoke three times as often as women (noted during the Building Task Force Report).
-
We urge the Committee on Annual Conference Session to offer education on the Consent Calendar process as part of pre-Conference briefings.
-
We urge the Committee on Annual Conference Session to review their manner of assigning officers to legislative sessions. All six secretaries assigned were women.
-
We urge each Conference board and agency to strive for greater representation of racial ethnic minorities and women on their governing boards. Margaret Mayo
