Democratic ProcessUUCLV practices congregational polity, a form of governance for communities of faith. Each congregation of the Unitarian Universalist Association self-governs and is a separate religious community joined together in a formal association or relationship through our covenant to affirm and promote the seven principles of Unitarian Universalism. Congregational polity gives the members of the congregation the right to govern and support the congregation, independent of a hierarchical structure. With this opportunity comes deep responsibility and accountability to this chosen religious community. To this end the members of the congregation elect members to facilitate the various aspects of congregational life. Each year the congregation holds two Town Hall Meetings and the Annual Meeting if the Congregation. Check the calendar, to see when you can participate in the community's democratic process. Otherwise, you can submit a request through the Suggestion Box at the bottom of this page to be contacted by a Board Trustee or the Staff. Board Meeting Minutes
Remember UUCLV Members or Interested Parties are welcome to attend any Board Meeting as an observer. If you have something for the Agenda, please forward your request to any Board Member. Staff Members may attend Board Meetings at specific times when their program goals or duties are part of the agenda.
