PHOENIX, Ariz. (BP)–Appointments to the Southern Baptist Convention’s Committee on Committees have been announced by SBC President Bryant Wright.

The Committee on Committees will assemble in Phoenix, Ariz., just prior to the June 14-15 SBC annual meeting to nominate members of the Committee on Nominations, who, in turn, nominate trustees to serve on boards of the various entities of the SBC.

The Committee on Committees has 70 members, two from each of the 35 state or regional conventions qualified for representation on boards of SBC entities.
