Nominating Committee
Per UCE bylaws, the Nominating Committee is responsible for identifying members willing to be candidates on a slate that will be presented for a vote by UCE membership at the annual meeting.
The positions are the Board of Trustees (three new members annually serving a three-year term for a total of nine members), the Endowment Committee (one trustee annually serving a three-year term for a total of three members) and Nominating Committee (three new members annually serving a two-year term for a total of six members). UCE bylaws guiding their work can be found here.
UCE needs members with vision to serve as leaders in our shared ministry. The Nominating Committee begins to reach out in the Fall to identify potential candidates for future leadership positions in the church, such as the Board of Trustees, Endowment Committee, and our own Nominating Committee.
If you would like to nominate a member (or yourself), please contact Joyce Lofstrom or any of the committee members. You can also fill out this Google form.
Nominating Committee
One of our goals is to invite diverse representation into our leadership, with a commitment to “widening the circle” so that all voices can be heard, and we can continue our progress toward increasing our diversity, including diversity of thought, experiences and ways of approaching problems.
The Nominating Committee also aspires to disrupt systemic bias in our leadership selection process and build diverse, collaborative teams. We especially want to encourage folks who have not previously served on these committees to consider this opportunity to support the church’s mission.
How to Get Involved
We may not know what skills and experience you have that would make you a perfect fit for one of the elected positions, or another role within the church’s organizations. You may know someone who could add value to the church’s work, if asked. If we can help people find groups that fit their interests and give them the opportunities they crave, we can enrich the church experience for everyone. If you would like to nominate a member (or yourself), please contact Joyce Lofstrom or any of the committee members.
