UUCH Board Report June 27, 2023
The UUCH Board of Trustees met for its regularly scheduled meeting on June 27, 2023.
The annual minister evaluation was completed and approved. Several adjustments to the Policy and Procedure Manual were made to clarify the role of the Vice President of the Board and the duties of the Stewardship Committee. The Board approved moving the remaining money in the Covid-19 Relief Fund ($1750) to the Minister’s Discretionary Fund.
Earlier in the day, the papers were signed by Board members to finalize the loan for the repair of the beams, and to establish an open line of credit for $120,000 as voted by the congregation.
Rev. Jaimie just returned from GA where the new UUA President, Rev. Dr. Sofia Betancourt, was overwhelmingly elected. Rev. Jaimie was proud to be a part of that search, and believes Dr. Betancourt will make a very good president. Rev. Jaimie will be presenting to the congregation some of the conversations that are going on in UUA about the possible changes to Article II of the UUA Bylaws, Principles and Purposes.
