It is 55 days until the opening of the 22nd session of the Dakotas Annual Conference.  This year you can expect fewer handouts, election of General Conference delegates, as well as other business items. 

The 2015 Annual Conference Session to be held June 4-6, 2016 in Fargo, North Dakota will involve a little less paper.  Handouts and promotional materials that were usually placed in a folder will be on a thumb drive.  Participants at Annual Conference will be given a thumb drive to use during conference session and back in their local church. 

If you would like to have a handout, flyer, brochure or other promotional materials included on the thumb drive please send the item(s) to Dulci Stewart via e-mail by May 1, 2015. 

General Conference 2016 will take place May 2016 in Portland, Oregon. The Dakotas Conference will elect one clergy and one lay delegate to General Conference this June.

Online registration is now open for Annual Conference.  Register before May 19 to avoid a late fee.  Remember to order your 2015 Journal when you register.  Printed journals can be ordered for a fee of $20.
