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 2021 meeting, the Board approved this covenant and adopted the Unitarian Universalist Seven Principles as its core values.
The 2020/2021 budget was approved by the Board and affirmed by the Congregation in June. The fiscal year end 2020 Balance Sheet can be found here. Scroll down to see previous Board pages. The Treasurer's report for 2019/2020 is found here.
