The Board of Directors
The Board of Directors oversees the Church on behalf of the Congregation by promoting policies and actions that move the Church toward goals consistent with Board-approved Ends and by resolving situations that may impede such movement.
The Board governs in partnership with the Lead Minister to define the Ends and Mission of the Church; engage in future planning; and hold itself and the Lead Minister accountable for progress and good governance. The Board delegates to the Lead Minister authority over implementation and day-to-day operations. The Board develops policies as needed in pursuit of UUCB, Board, and Ministerial goals, and acts primarily through these directive Policies.
Our governance model, based on the work of Hotchkiss (2016) is characterized by, but not limited to: transparency in communication, joint planning and assessment, respect for each other’s functional domains, mutual commitment to common goals, and shared respect for each other and for the Mission of UUCB.
