About UUSF >
Board of Trustees
In addition to being a spiritual community, the Society is a legally incorporated church in the State of California. The Society is governed by congregation approved by-laws , and the governing Board of Trustees has adopted guidelines for governance .
The Board of Trustees is the governing body of the Society and comprises twelve members of the congregation each elected for two year terms. The Chairman of the Board is called the Moderator, the Vice-Chair is the Vice Moderator and there is a Secretary and a Treasurer. The Officers of the Board are elected by the Board at their annual meeting in June of each year.
The Board is the authority for the Society between Membership meetings. The business and affairs of the Society are managed under the direction of the Board. However, the Board may not sell or lease the Society’s real property for a period of more than one year without approval of the members. The Board may delegate any management activities to anyone as it deems necessary and appropriate for the effective operation of the Society.
Board members serve without compensation and are to be representative of the congregation in their corporate role. Annually there is an election for six Board Trustee positions. Persons are nominated by the Nominating Committee and others may be nominated by petition. (See the By-Laws for these procedures.) Board members are expected to attend the monthly Board meetings, attend Sunday worship, and otherwise be ‘out and about’ in the activities of the congregation. The term of office is two years with a six consecutive year limit on service.
The Board meets monthly, the third Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. in the
Fireside Room of the Center. These meetings are open to all. One of the first
agenda items each month is ‘open mike’ wherein members are invited
to appear to address the Board.
The Agenda for the Board meetings are prepared for distribution on the Thursday
before the Board meeting and a copy of that packet is posted on the Gallery
bulletin board (adjacent to the Church office).
The 2005-2006 Annual
Report is
available here. (Be on the lookout for future updates to this site which
will make more Board of Trustees information easily accessible to our congregation
at large!)
