Delegate Returns From 103rd Annual Convention
WILMETTE, ILLINOIS - 1 May 2011
The elected delegate from electoral unit EU159 (which includes Linn and Benton Counties and others), Mrs. Paula Siegel, returned from the 103rd National Bahá’í Convention held in Foundation Hall of the United States Bahá’í Temple. Together with 170 other delegates from across the country, Mrs. Siegel participated in four days of consultation on the advancement of the Bahá’í Faith in this country and around the world. During that time, she also fulfilled one of the major purposes of the convention - the election of the nine-member administrative body to serve the Bahá’ís of the United States from May 1, 2011 to April 30, 2012.
Mrs. Siegel has already started visiting different communities throughout EU159 to transmit her post-convention report and convey the spirit of the convention as well as the latest achievements of the Bahá’í Faith and the goals for building spiritual community for the next five years.
