About the Board

UUCV Board Members form the leadership and fiduciary body of UUCV. As such they bring active leadership to UUCV, and act on its behalf in concert with UUCV ByLaws and the principles of the Unitarian Universalist Association. Board members bring policy ideas and governance issues and congregant concerns to the Board. Finally Board members continually engage with UUCV membership, to understand their views and concerns so that members concerns’ are represented in Board decision making.

Board Responsibilities

All UUCV Board members have the following responsibilities:

  • Attend monthly Board meetings, which average 2 hours in length. Missing more than 3 board meetings in one year may result in dismissal from the Board.
