Dear Pastor, Church Clerk or Moderator:

Our 2026 ABCOFLASH Annual Meeting is scheduled for October 2-3, 2026 and needs YOU. The Business Session will be held IN PERSON on Saturday, October 3, at 2:00 p.m.

Without your attendance and participation, we cannot build and/or sustain fellowship and growth within this ABC Community. We are aware that this request for Delegates has not been enforced for a few years, but note that this was because no voting was required.

You should have received your 2026 Annual Meeting brochure. We are focusing on gathering the names of delegates representing your church. (Please note that all delegates assigned/chosen serve for an entire year).

Please take a moment to register Delegates, based on the membership formula on the Delegate Registration Form enclosed. Delegate participation is an important part of our regional ministry and helps ensure your church has a voice in shaping our region's future.

ACTION REQUIRED no later than September 24, 2026.

Please complete and return the attached Delegate Registration Form via mail to ABCOFLASH, 213 N. Louise Street, Glendale, CA 91206; email to connect@abcoflash.org; or go to https://abcoflash.org/amtg2026 and click on Delegate Registration. Each delegate will be assigned a unique PIN to use during the business session.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out by email (connect@abcoflash.org), text or call 818-839-6069.

Your presence strengthens our region. We look forward to seeing your church well-represented as we seek God's will together.

In His Service,

ABCOFLASH Board of Directors

David Cheng, President ~ Dave Fields, Vice President ~ Wes Harada, Treasurer
Susan Hall, Secretary and Board Members: Mary Duong, Gabriel Elias, Tom Vaughn,
