Committee Councils
Currently UUCOV is implementing a Committee Council structure to coordinate the activities of a number of committees that share an interest in a specific topic. The Coordinating Council, whose members serve as chairs of the individual Committee Councils, consists of six individuals plus the UUCOV Board of Trustees Vice President who serves as Chair. These individuals represent the following Committee Councils: Connections (service to the UUCOV community), Finance (money issues), Lifespan Education (intellectual stimulation, spiritual growth & learning), Physical Plant (buildings and grounds), Community Action (service to the wider community), and Worship (all aspects of Sunday Morning).
The duties of the Coordinating Council are to 1) improve coordination between committees, 2) facilitate the strategic planning process, 3) ensure integration of program planning and financial planning, 4) ensure board policies are implemented at the committee level, and 5) identify issues or concerns that need board attention.
Each Council Chair has responsibility for meeting with their designated committee(s) and/or committee chairs so as to be knowledgeable regarding their specific area of interest. The Vice President conducts monthly meetings with the chairs of the Councils and shares decisions that have been made by the Board of Trustees. Council Chairs bring issues or concerns to the meeting that are then shared by the Vice President with the Board of Trustees. All meetings of the Coordinating Council are open to any who are interested in attending.
