Nominating ballots–2004 Convention
The official nominating ballots for the offices of President, First Vice President and other Vice Presidents have been mailed to every member congregation of the Synod according to the list of member congregations maintained by the Synod’s Department of Rosters and Statistics. If any eligible congregation, including congregations received into synodical membership during the year 2003, has not received its ballot, the Office of the Secretary of the Synod should be notified immediately.
Congregations are reminded that March 10, 2004, will be the absolute deadline for the receipt of these nominating ballots. Only official ballots that are properly signed and received by that date will be honored.

Submission of reports and overtures–2004 Convention
The deadline established by bylaw for the submission of reports and overtures to the 2004 convention of The Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod is March 6, 2004.
The boards and commissions of the Synod have been asked to submit their reports to the convention by Feb. 6, 2003, to facilitate their inclusion in the Convention Workbook. Because of printing timetable requirements, the same early deadline, Feb. 6, is also recommended for the submission of overtures. While all overtures submitted by the official March deadline will be forwarded to floor committees of the convention, overtures that are submitted by the earlier date are more likely to be printed in the Convention Workbook.
