The lack of diversity on this Board is a bit concerning. Can we not do better in representing that we are a church for the nations? The imbalance of gender equity is also a concern. Three men for every woman. What is your plan to have this Board truly represent the people of the MB Church in Canada?

I agree with the comment from Shelley. Adding two more men to the executive board at this time is not helpful.
I would suggest that the election be postponed and that the nominating committee come up with nominees that are more reflective of the churches that they represent,
