The Board of Trustees met on Wednesday August 28.

We welcomed back from her 6-month sabbatical Rev. Leia, who gave thanks to Rev. Susan (not present) for carrying the RE torch in her absence and doing such a wonderful job.

We discussed staffing needs – specifically administration/IT/Human Resources – and personnel policies, and agreed that both topics warrant continued deliberation among key stakeholders who will bring proposals back to the board.

As a result of a few retreat planning meetings, Achsah, John, Tim, and Chris recommended to the full board an agenda and approach for the upcoming retreat. This helped everyone be better prepared for the retreat the following Saturday, August 31.

Pam led a conversation about what it means to be a UUCville Board Trustee, in which many participated. This was an important calibration of expectations and perspectives and excellent timing, given the recent arrival of new board members and the upcoming board retreat.

Discussion and vote on an updated Communications Policy were postponed until September.

Board minutes will be posted here soon if you would like to read more detailed information.
