Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees shall consist of four officers of the Congregation (President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer), and three to five at large trustees. All officers and at-large members of the Board must be Congregation members in good standing. Officers will serve two-year terms. At Large Board Members will serve three-year terms. Officers shall not serve more than two consecutive full terms in the same office. An at-large member may only serve one 3-year term in that position. The President and Treasurer shall be elected in the same year, and the Vice President and Secretary shall be elected in the alternating year. The terms of the at-large members shall be staggered so that no more than two at-large positions expire in any given year. More than half of an unexpired term shall be considered a full term. No member of the Board may serve more than six consecutive years on the Board, but may serve again after a two-year absence from the Board.
