• A Ministry Description of the President is available.
• The Policy on Process for Electing the President is available.
• General Operating Bylaw No. 2 Article 8-Officers defines the role of the President.

Candidates for the position of President of the C&MA will be persons of exemplary character and spiritual maturity, who have demonstrated capacity to provide spiritual and organizational leadership for a complex, ethnically-diverse family of Alliance churches.  All candidates must be Canadian citizens, approved for licensing by the C&MA in Canada, a member of a local church, which is a member of the C&MA in Canada, and have significant Canadian ministry leadership experience.
