Q: Can a Deacon serve as chair for the Council’s Voice for the Poor committee?
A: The VFP is a committee, and committees can be headed by a deacon. There is nothing that prevents a deacon from being a committee chair. Being the chair does not give the deacon a vote related to the board or Council. A deacon who is the committee chair can vote on committee matters since committees do not make final decisions and only serve in an advisory capacity.

Q: Can a Vincentian become an active member of two Conferences and if so, what additional information should the Conferences know?
A: A Vincentian can become a member of two Conferences and although there is no additional requirement to do so, as a courtesy and transparency, Council and Conference leadership should be informed.

P: ¿Puede un diácono presidir el Comité de Voz para los Pobres (VFP) del Consejo?
A: El VFP es un comité, y los comités pueden estar encabezados por un diácono. No hay nada que impida que un diácono presida un comité. Presidir un comité no le otorga al diácono un voto relacionado con la junta o el Consejo. Un diácono que preside un comité puede votar sobre asuntos del comité, ya que los comités no toman decisiones finales y solo sirven en calidad de asesores.

P: ¿Puede un Vicentino convertirse en miembro activo de dos Conferencias y, de ser así, qué información adicional deben saber las Conferencias?
A: Un Vicentino puede hacerse miembro de dos Conferencias y, aunque no existe ningún requisito adicional para hacerlo, como cortesía y transparencia, se debe informar al liderazgo del Consejo y de la Conferencia.
