What We Do
The Board’s job is to make sure that the mission of the Fellowship is developed and implemented and that its goals are carried out in a timely, effective way; to work to engage the Fellowship in creating and implementing long-range strategic plans; to plan for and administer the resources and facilities needed to fulfill the purpose of the UUFCC; to assess the opinions of the membership; to set policy; and to act in the name of the UUFCC between meetings of the membership. The Board has sole authority to enter into, manage, and terminate contracts. It has final authority in the employment of all personnel other than the minister. The Board prepares job descriptions in cooperation with the minister and the Human Resources Committee.
Who We Are
The Board of Trustees is made up of the President, President-Elect, Treasurer, Secretary, three trustees, and the minister as an ex-officio member.
