  • Instructions to church staff regarding delegate registration:
    
    Each congregation’s secretary or pastor is responsible to enter delegate names and addresses on the Mennonite Directory Congregational Update web page. This is the same process used for updating congregational information for the Mennonite Church USA 2009 Directory.
    
    Go to: www.mennodata.org/mennonitedirectory/login.asp
    
    Click the "Edit Delegate List" box in item #20 on your congregational profile. Enter the name, email and mailing address of your delegates. If you need assistance with your congregational number or password, contact your area conference office. Please enter this data as soon as you have your list of delegates. If you do not have web access, simply send the information to your area conference and they will enter it into the database for you.
