The Board uses an organizational model called Policy Governance, which is a system that helps ensure that our Board and our staff are clear about who does what and why. Using this model maximizes the Board’s responsibility to our congregation members, and improves the ability of staff to support our congregation’s mission. Policy Governance promotes ideas such as accountability, transparency, effectiveness and efficiency.
Guided by established Roles and Expectations, the nine members of our Board serve staggered, three-year terms and meet monthly to review staff reports and discuss initiatives that help us carry out the goals of our congregation’s Mission.
Board work is also carried out by several Committees of the Board. Most teams are a collaboration of Board members and other congregations members.
Board meetings are open to all on the third Thursday of every month at 6:00 p.m. The agenda and relevant documents are published here ahead of each meeting. If you can’t attend, archived minutes and other reports are available for you to review any time.
We welcome your participation or input about our Board’s work! You may contact the current Board president at BoardofTrustees@ucdsm.org.
