Governance Task Force Update
The Governance Task Force (GTF) was created in Oct. of 2010 to do a systematic appraisal of the governance structure of the church and recommend any changes that might be needed to bring congruence among current government structures and practices at First Unitarian Church, published best practices in church governance, and the church by-laws. The GTF presented its first interim report to the congregation at the Mid-Winter Congregational Meeting in Jan 2011, and will be recommending that some proposed changes to our current governance structure be “pilot-tested” in the next fiscal year (2012-13).
In preparation for the May 20th meeting a series of informational sessions are being planned for after each service on Sunday April 29 and Sunday May 6 and at Wonderful Wednesday on May 16th. These sessions are informational in nature and designed to provide the background behind this effort, explain the rationale behind the changes that are being proposed, and to answer any questions you might have. There is no intended progression to these sessions, so drop in on the session that best fits your schedule. Specific locations will be in the yellow order of service insert on the day of the sessions.
If you cannot attend any of these sessions, but still have questions please feel free to contact
