+ 안녕하세요. 

요번 1월부터 미국 EXco와 NCC (National Coordinating Council) 위원들은 7월부터 시작하는 미국차기의장후보자 선출과정을 시작했었습니다. 
NCC위원들이 식별을 통해서 후보자들을 추천하고, 전국에서 4명이 추천을 받았습니다. 
4 후보자들은 개인/공동체 식별을 갖는 시간을 가졌고, 그중에서 3명은 개인/공동체 사정으로 초대에 응하지 못했고,
Florida에 있는 Ady Viera 분이 후보초대에 수락했다는 기쁜 소식을 전해받았습니다. 
이분은 NCC위원으로도 활동하고, 영신수련 등 이냐시오영성에 매우 깊은 경험이 있는 분이라고 합니다. (미국의장의 편지 참고)
다음 단계는 NCC위원들이 다시 공동으로 식별하고 5월달에 공식적인 선출과정을 위해서 모임을 한다고 합니다. 
회원들께서는 개인/공동체로서 기도를 통해서 지원해 주시기 바랍니다. 

Subject: [EXCO] Good News about a Candidate for CLC-USA President-Elect! 

Dear Friends,
 
I am writing to let you know that we have a candidate for President-Elect of CLC-USA: Ady Viera, of the South Florida Region.
 
As a result of your suggestions to our diligent Nominations Committee, there were four possible candidates contacted for the position of President-Elect. Each of them went through a discernment process, individually and communally, to determine whether they were called to serve in this position. Three of them arrived at the decision that they are not called to serve as President-Elect at this time. But with the discerning support of her community in South Florida, Ady Viera has informed us that she is ready and willing to serve in this office if she is elected.
 
There are many aspects of Ady's skills and insights that could be included in this announcement, but I will mention only a few points for those who have not worked with her during her recent term as a member of the NCC. Ady has a deep understanding of Ignatian spirituality and discernment, with a rich experience of both guiding individuals and also training individuals in dynamics of the full Spiritual Exercises. Her deep commitment to the apostolic dimension of CLC life has long been evident in her involvement and leadership with service projects and service programs in South Florida and internationally. We can truly be grateful for her generosity in accepting the nomination.
 
The NCC is required to formally elect a person to the position of President-Elect. The term of office for this position is scheduled to begin on July 1, and it includes the President-Elect becoming a member of ExCo. As Secretary of CLC-USA, Barb Rudolph will be contacting you with a Doodle poll, so that we can select a date sometime in May for an NCC teleconference call when we will convene for this formal election process.
 
There will be more information forthcoming about the election process and a personal presentation by Ady herself, but I wanted to share this good news with you just as soon possible.
 
Let us pray for Ady and for one another.
 
Blessings.
 
Ed
