UUCF Governance Manual/Bylaws

This manual contains the major components of UUCF governance. It is a key tool in establishing and maintaining our governance framework, serving as a basic reference source for members and staff new to the congregation as well as a source of continuity when leaders and staff change. The Governance Manual is a living document, because creating, evaluating, and refining the policies and procedures necessary to implement this structure will be an ongoing process. 

The UUCF Governance Manual contains:

• The UUCF Bylaws; 
• Statements of UUCF’s Ends (the outcomes the congregation seeks to achieve);
• Coordinating Team Expectations (things the Coordinating Team must do);
• Coordinating Team Limitations (things that the Coordinating Team or staff may not do);
• Board-Coordinating Team Linkages (describing the delegation of authority to the Coordinating Team and staff and their accountability to the Board);
• The Board’s own internal management processes; and
• The process for making or revising policies.
