There is no need to elect assembly and convention delegates this year.
The District Advisory Council will function as the Assembly to tend to business such as:
- Credentials matters: district licenses, retirements and ordination recommendations.
- General Assembly Delegate Elections
- Global SDMI Convention Delegate Elections
- Global NMI and NYI Delegate elections issues are still being worked out
- All elected district officers and directors currently serving will serve for the next year. The DAC is authorized to elect where vacancies exist.
- A delegate handbook with reports and other information based on the business of the Assembly will be available on or about June 1, 2020.
- DAB created a VA District Coronavirus Fund by directing assembly budgeted line items to the fund. A committee was also appointed to administer the fund.

Ordination

There will be no ordination service on the Virginia District at the typical District Assembly time this year. Alternative ordination plans may be worked out with the District Superintendent and the General Superintendent in jurisdiction. Dr. Sunberg has indicated her willingness to conduct ordinations at the soonest possible date where it is both secure and safe.
