  The Board of Trustees consists of seven persons elected at the June annual meeting of the congregation; three members are elected in one year, four members the next year. Each trustee serves a two-year term. The congregation elects the secretary, the treasurer, and five trustees. Each year, the board chooses a chair and vice chair from the other five trustees to serve a one-year term for these offices.
    The board is responsible for any property owned by the Fellowship, overseeing the operation of the Fellowship, and setting its policies. The board meets monthly. (See the calendar for their schedule.)   The board may also call special meetings of the congregation to reach decisions.

Teams and Committees

 
     UUFSM members strive to nurture the spirit of the individual, create communities large and small, and work together to "build a heaven here on earth."

     To accomplish these noble goals, we need to coordinate. Working together in small groups for a common goal (a.k.a. being on a committee or a team) is a wonderful way to meet and learn from fellow members, to appreciate other people's skills and talents, and to build lasting friendships, all while helping our Fellowship thrive and grow.

Find the group that’s right for you!

UU Resources

We have seven Teams at UUFSM. Each Team has a Board Liaison, who offers assistance and advice, coordinates the different tasks and committees on the team when necessary, oversees the budget, and signs vouchers.

The spirit of the individual is nurtured on Sunday Mornings and by Life Span Religious Education. We strengthen our communities through Social Justice Action and Fellowship Builders.

To support us in reaching our goals, we rely on Finance and Stewardship  for the resources we need, and on Communication for staying connected with each other and for sharing our message.

The UU Matters Team deals with internal affairs and with the Joseph Priestley District  and the Unitarian Universalist Association, which provide support, information, and resources to everyone in the Fellowship.

The Board of Trustees oversees the entire Fellowship and helps to coordinates the different teams.
