Hello UTUUC! The Board of Trustees met via Zoom this past Tuesday, September 13 and will hold its Reflecting with the Board sessions on September 21 and on September 26. Please join us.

Here are some highlights of the Board's August meeting deliberations and actions:

We discussed the work that is being done on preparing the 2023 budget, including the need to make decisions about priorities, possible changes in staffing configurations, and possible cuts as we move forward and recognize our being a different, smaller congregation than before the pandemic. We have heard from many congregants in recent weeks and welcome your input as we continue our work here.

We consented to the offer from Rev. Cooley to send out a pastoral letter regarding the Unitarian Universalist Association’s investigation of a complaint against former Senior Minister Rev. Alan Taylor. Watch for an email from Rev. Dawn this afternoon for details. We got an update on repairs for the water/sewage event that occurred on July 23 and discussed our relationships regarding the building.

We discussed some of our internal procedures regarding nominations and communications. We approved sponsoring member Lecretia Williams’ application to Unitarian Universalist fellowship.

Here is a link to the approved minutes from the August 9, 2022 Board meeting.

Your UTUUC Board of Trustees,

Amanda Kaleta-Kott, President Matt Bruce Aimee Conrad, Vice President Aisha Ellis Stephen Lee, Secretary Ed McDevitt Sandy Meyer Rich Pokorny Michael Weekes
