As a part of the interim process, the Board of Trustees has been meeting with some of the committees with whom it has a working relationship, namely Nominating & Recruiting, Integrated Stewardship Council, and the Endowment Committee. The Board appreciates these conversations and the opportunity to strengthen our relationships with these committees.
Some of these meetings have generated questions that need additional time and consideration. As a result, the Board of Trustees has commissioned a task force to review and evaluate current Endowment management practices and procedures relative to their alignment with the overall budgeting process of UCE; to recommend to the Board and the congregation an Endowment management and distribution structure consistent with the UCE bylaws that reflects best practices of congregational endowments comparable to that of UCE; and if appropriate, make recommendations for changes in policies, procedures, or bylaws.
If you are interested in hearing more about the task force or would like to be involved, please contact the Board at BOT@ucevanston.org by Monday, March 29th. Thank you.
