Governance
UUCV uses a democratic process to elect the governing Board of Trustees. The congregation also approves officers from among that board. Becoming a member of UUCV gives you a vote in that selection process.
The role of the Board of Trustees is:
- to carry out the mission of the church,
- to provide a supervisory role for the organization, and
- to maintain a set of policies and procedures consistent with UU principles.
The Board of Trustees works closely as a team with staff and other volunteer committees to do the work of UUCV. If you have a question or concern, please feel free to email the Board at govboard@uucvan.org.
UUCV is a member of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA), which is the national association of UU churches, congregations, and fellowships. We are also in the Pacific Western Region, which spans most of the western states of the US including but not limited to Oregon, Washington, California, and Alaska. These associations provide resources, support, and fellowship to the congregation.
