WHO WE ARE
UUSF Nominating Committee
As its name suggests, the Nominating Committee nominates congregants to leadership roles on the UUSF Board of Trustees and the UUSF Nominating Committee. (Nominating Committee members are not eligible to serve on the Board of Trustees during their tenure on the Nominating Committee; neither are they eligible to be nominated by the Nominating Committee for any elective office other than membership on the Nominating Committee). Nominations are solicited through consultation with the Board, UUSF Committee chairs, ministerial staff, interaction with congregants and self-nominations. In preparing a slate of candidates for the Society’s consideration, we look for a balance of skills, a record of volunteer effort, good will, and recognition of the UUSF covenant that “…love it the spirit of this church and service is its prayer.”
​
Slates of candidates for the Board and Nominating Committee are presented to the Members of the Society at least 60 days before the election (usually in June) to allow time for additional nominations to be made by petition in accordance with Article VII, Section B. To inform congregants about those proposed for leadership roles, the Nominating Committee publishes brief statements written by all candidates which include summaries of their relevant experience and statements of why they wish to serve. The biographies for the Nominating Committee members are below.
​
In recent years the Nominating Committee has expanded it thinking about leadership from just nominating people to such positions to supporting the development and sustainment of leadership. To support the development of leadership, we seek to match congregant skills and interests with various UUSF group and committee needs. To support the sustainment of leadership, we identify leadership development resources available to UU committees and groups. It takes a village. How do we develop and sustain ours? We welcome your comments and suggestions.
