Hello UTUUC! The Board of Trustees met via Zoom this past Tuesday, April 12. Here are some things we would like you to know:

NOTE: Please join us for Board sessions on the following consecutive Mondays: Monday, April 18 at 7pm and Monday, April 25 at 7pm. Zoom link for both sessions can be found here. Meeting ID: 884 1637 3093 / Passcode: Unity

We adopted a policy clarifying the roles of the President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. We also elected Amanda Kaleta-Kott as President and Aimee Conrad as Vice President, and we re-elected Stephen Lee as Secretary and Lynne Hensel as Treasurer. Thanks to Ed McDevitt for his service as Board President and his continuing service on the Board.  We adopted a policy creating an Executive Committee that can act on behalf of the Board when appropriate between the regularly scheduled Board meetings and without necessarily calling a special meeting.

We approved Dawn Rose as a new member of the Personnel Committee. We look forward to Dawn’s contributions and welcome all congregants to consider serving on a committee. Board members agreed to be liaisons to Board Committees: Matt Bruce on the Stewardship Committee, Aisha Ellis on the Nominating Committee and the Congregational Health and Reconciliation Team, Sandy Meyer on the Finance and Investment Committee, Ed McDevitt on the Personnel Committee, Rich Pokorny on the Stewardship Committee and the Nominations Committee, and Michael Weekes on the Congregational Properties Committee.

We responded to a letter by multiple congregants regarding the pending investigation by the Unitarian Universalist Association’s Ministerial Fellowship Committee regarding our former senior minister.

Looking ahead, we hope you will join us on Saturday, April 16 at 10am for a workshop with Rev. David Pyle to discuss our options for future ministry, such as beginning the search for a new minister and calling a developmental minister. The workshop will be in-person and will be streamed on our YouTube page. The Board welcomes your input on this important topic at the upcoming Reflecting with the Board sessions. The Board will hold a special meeting on this topic on Tuesday April 26 at 7pm.

Your UTUUC Board of Trustees
