Our Board of Trustees
Composition and duties of the Board are detailed in the by-laws. The Board maintains a Policy Book that articulates the church’s policies on discernment practices, management, personnel, and financial matters. The Board of Trustees has a covenant which guides the manner in which members relate to each other and the community. At its January 2018 meeting, the Board approved this covenant and adopted the Unitarian Universalist Seven Principles as its core values.
The 2018/2019 budget was approved by the Board and affirmed by the Congregation in June. The calendar year end 2019 Balance Sheet can be found here. The Board's Annual Report for 2019/2020 can be downloaded here. Scroll down to see previous Board pages and Treasurer's reports.
