Are you passionate about UUSS, and have you ever considered that you might have the potential to lead? It is the job of our Board of Trustees to clearly define roles and responsibilities, to empower staff and volunteers, and to focus its attention on discernment, stewardship of resources, strategy and oversight.
By serving on the Board, you will be inspired by interacting with the other talented members. You will develop valuable new skills, and you will also have lots of fun. And, you will help UUSS in profound ways to more fully achieve our Mission.
You do not need to be knowledgeable about all aspects of UUSS to serve on the Board, just be willing to learn and lead. And you must have been a voting member of the congregation for at least one year as of May 2019.
At the Annual Meeting of the Congregation on May 19, the congregation will be electing two individuals for full three-year terms beginning on July 1, 2019, plus two other individuals for one-year commitments, completing the terms of two seats on Board that are becoming vacant.
To be considered for open Board positions, please complete an application form and return it by April 7 to the Governance Advisory Committee (GAC), which will prepare a slate of candidates for submission to the Board.
Download the application form here and return it to Christy Multer at cmulter12@gmail.com by 3:00 pm on Sunday, April 7th.
Questions? Please talk to GAC members Dan Leonard, Christy Multer, John Reschovsky, Rev. Lynn, or Rev. Wendy. The Board of Trustees webpage has information you may find helpful too.
