Monthly Leadership Update to the Congregation

The UUSS volunteers serving in leadership positions want to keep the congregation updated about current and upcoming conversations. In this message you will find updates from your Board of Trustees, Program Council, and occasionally Nominating Committee and Endowment Trust.

Call for Candidates: Are you feeling called to play a larger part in the fabric of UUSS, or at least curious about it? If so, great! The Nominating Committee is starting its search for candidates for open leadership positions including on the Board of Trustees, the Program Council, the Endowment Trust Committee, and the Nominating Committee. Elections take place in May for terms beginning this summer. Visit the Nominating Committee’s table in the Welcome Hall in January for information about roles and responsibilities, or email nominating@uuss.org.

General Assembly: GA will be held online and in person in Baltimore, MD, June 18-22. UUSS is allowed eight voting delegates, and the Board of Trustees has voted to support the costs of registration for our delegates. For more information on the Assembly, visit uua.org/ga. To learn about becoming a delegate, please email board@uuss.org.

Solar Project: The Solar Project of 2024 is complete! It was a journey of planning, fundraising, tabling (thanks to the Solar Sisters) and then contracting, permitting, and inspecting. We are thrilled that UUSS is now generating some of our own power.

How to get in touch with your volunteer leaders: 

Your elected Board of Trustees meets monthly. Our next meeting will be Thursday, January 23, 6:30 pm, on Zoom and in the library. You are welcome to join us by accessing the same Zoom link as the Sunday morning services. The Board’s role is to oversee issues of UUSS finances, facilities, personnel and long-range planning; it makes decisions on policies rather than management decisions.

You can find more information about the board and read the minutes and Treasurer’s report here uuss.org/board . To contact the Board email Board@uuss.org 

The Program Council meets on Zoom the third Thursday of each month. Persons interested in attending a meeting or contacting the Program Council co-chairs can email programcouncil@uuss.org.

Feel free to engage any committee member from Nominating Committee. They have yellow name tags. Or stop by and check out their table when you see it. And lastly you can always reach them by email at nominating@uuss.org
