Cynde Durnford-Branecki

Grace, San Marcos

Nominee’s Bio: I have been a member of Grace, San Marcos, for more than ten years. During this time, I have served on the vestry and as clerk for several years. I am currently a member of the Altar Guild, serve as Funeral Guild Director, and act as the parish Archivist, among other responsibilities. Since November, I have also served as the part-time parish administrator. At the diocesan level, I have served as Secretary of Convention and am currently a member of the Executive Council. In 2024, I was elected Diocesan Archivist. I have twice represented Grace at Convention, and if elected, I would be honored to represent our Diocese at General Convention.

Nominee’s Statement in Favor of Their Candidacy: I believe deeply in the importance of active engagement not only within one’s parish, but also within the Diocese and the wider Episcopal Church. I view such service as a vital expression of our shared mission and ministry.
