Like all Unitarian Universalist congregations, we are democratically run by our members through their elected leaders. The main function of the Board of Trustees is strategic: are we as a congregation focused on the key things we need to do to live out our mission? The Board sets major goals, oversees the finances of the congregation, and serves as an accountability partner with the staff team. We seek a diverse set of perspectives for the seven-member Board: a mix of identities, and of folks with leadership experience in different contexts.
Our elected leaders work in partnership with our minister. The Board and elected leaders focus on governance: vision, mission, and oversight. The minister and staff team focus on the programs of the congregation which deliver on our mission, and the operational aspects of the church which enable that programming.
Your UUCB board strives to be transparent, accessible and ready to communicate with you, our congregation. We want to hear from you and one avenue is the regular Board round tables and forums — check the schedule below!
