Rogue Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship

Regular meetings of RVUUF's Board of Directors are open to all members of the Fellowship. The preliminary agenda for the upcoming meeting (subject to change prior thereto) will be posted here. The Board requests that congregant requests for Board consideration be submitted at least one week prior to a meeting, preferably using a form available in the office.

Toward the end of the service, there will be a short congregational meeting for RVUUF Members to elect the Ministerial Search Committee.

Letter to Congregation, and Candidate Biographies

Plan to stay after the service to vote on a resolution proposed by the Board. All members received agenda details.

This is both (1) the Fellowship’s May semi-annual business meeting and (2) an imbedded special meeting to vote on whether to call a Minister. The RVUUF Bylaws stipulate a quorum of 66% of the Members for a special meeting to call a Minister, rather than the 20 percent required for other business meetings. Accordingly, it is extremely important that you participate in this combined meeting on May 18th.

Members, please come to the front to sign in. Please pick up two ballots—one for the minister and one for the yearly election.

Meeting agenda; proposed Bylaws change; nominees for Board, Nominating and Endowment

We have been very busy this year and have not had a forum recently to check in with you all. We would like you to give us some feedback -- questions, comments, complaints, suggestions -- about anything that is going on in the Fellowship. This is part of the Committee on Fellowship Ministry’s mission of taking the pulse of the congregation and an opportunity for all members to give us some input. Sharing is an important ingredient in communities. Please come join us. CFM, the Board, Program Council and Rev. Heather Lynn Hanson

In response to a request from RVUUF’s Public Relations (PR) Committee, the Board has scheduled a special meeting of the Congregation, to be held after the Sunday service on March 16th. The purpose of the meeting will be to seek the Congregation’s approval for the PR Committee to submit a proposal for a Chalice Lighters’ grant “to assist our Congregation’s growth.” The Congregation’s approval is needed because, if the proposal succeeds, expenditure of the granted funds is likely to exceed the amount that our Bylaws permit the Board to authorize for extra-budgetary disbursement.

A second topic − related to ministerial search − may be included on the meeting agenda, depending on the outcome of on-going discussions between the Board and the Endowment Trustees. In any case, information regarding agenda items will be mailed at least ten days prior to the meeting.

You have 2 opportunities to give input on our current draft: Sunday (after the service), and Tues, Feb 12 at 7pm. You may get a paper copy of the current draft in the foyer or an electronic copy by e-mailing our Office Administrator (Contact Us). Paper copies will be available at the forums. Your input will be appreciated.

At our business meeting held on December 9th, the Congregation adopted two Board-proposed resolutions regarding our future program, location, facilities, and staff. The vote was overwhelmingly favorable and was taken in the context of strategic planning. As announced and discussed at that meeting, the Board has appointed a Strategic Planning Task Force (SPTF) to develop and recommend specific steps to be taken toward implementing the resolutions, based on the work of its predecessor Long-range Planning Committee. The Board’s charge to the SPTF is posted here.
