The Board of Trustees

Cedar Lane's Board of Trustees (BOT) is elected by the congregation to represent it in the legal, contractual, and business matters of the church. The Board contracts with the church's ministers for their services and evaluates them annually. It approves all fund raising activities, the annual operating budget as prepared by the Finance Committee, and decides on the disposition of income from the Endowment Fund. It approves all changes to committee charters as well as the establishment of new committees and, acting on the recommendations of the Denominational Affairs Committee, certifies Cedar Lane's delegates to the General Assembly of the UUA and to business meetings of the Joseph Priestley District.

Each member of the Board of Trustees serves as a liaison to one or more standing committees of the church. Board meetings are attended by the ministers and the church administrator who offer their guidance and discharge the decisions made by the Board.

The Board of Trustees has two mailboxes to expand opportunities to hear from the congregation. The first is an e-mail address at board@cedarlane.org. The second is a mailbox among those in the office’s reception area. Whether via the Internet or in writing, the Board would love to hear from you. Of course, nothing replaces a conversation, so please stop by the reception desk after either Sunday service. A Board member is there to help with various activities, and to make it easy to find a trustee. Another way to find a Board member on Sunday morning is to look for a name badge printed on bright blue paper.
