Welcome to
Board of Trustee Meetings
Board meetings are open to the membership. This is what to
expect when you come.
The meetings follow Robert’s Rules of Order, which means that
attendees, other than Board members, are generally observers only. If
you have an item you wish to present to the Board, whether you are a
committee chair or general member, please contact the Board chair, (see
phone number and email address in the
Fellowship
Directory, Sunday bulletin, or the Uni-Sun).
Committees may also work with their BOT liaisons
to present items to the
Board.
Meetings are held on the second Wednesday of the month
at 7pm in the
Fellowship Hall. Meeting time and place can be confirmed on the
calendar – either on the website or in the office.

- Come prepared by reading board e-mails and
relevant
documents in advance;

have
information for wise decisions;

congregation;
- Actively seek and listen to all points of views
and
share our own;
- Be brief;
- Share in the work of the board;
- If unable to fulfill responsibilities, resign so a
new trustee can be named;
- Ensure that all board members are involved in
decisions requiring a congregational vote;
- Stand by board decisions and speak to the
congregation with one voice;
