Governance

Why a Governance Committee?

To free the Board of Trustees from making routine decisions about administrative matters on a case-by-case basis;
To provide a clear organizational structure;
To allow our Board to focus on furthering the Mission and Vision of the congregation; and
To ensure clear and consistent policies to direct the Board and its committees, teams and taskforces.

This committee, which is establishing policy-based governance (PBG)) in our congregation, is re-visioning our structure and rewriting our policies – a daunting task which they are approaching in a truly organized fashion!
