Guidelines for Requesting an Agenda Item for Board Meetings

Monday, January 25th, 2010

The Executive Committee meets on the first Tuesday of the month at 5:45 at the church to set the agenda for that month’s board meeting. The Board of Trustees meets on the Third Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. at the church, usually in the gallery. You can view a list of church governance meeting dates here:

Board meetings are open to church members and there is time set aside on each agenda for members to make comments and/or bring items to the attention of the board that do not require extended discussion and/or board action. Such items do not require an additional agenda item.

Committee Chairs or others who have business requiring extended discussion and/or board action may request an agenda item by sending such a  request to secretary@austinuu.org by 5 p.m. on the day before the next regularly scheduled Executive Committee meeting. Please indicate how much time you believe will be needed for the item. Please submit any written materials related to the item of business to the same email address by noon on the Friday before the Board of Trustees meeting.

In the event that an urgent item of business becomes needed after the Executive Committee has set the agenda for that month’s board meeting, contact secretary@austinuu.org with an explanation. Please reserve this option only for items requiring action that cannot wait until the following month.

The Board of Trustees welcome your ideas and participation and invites you to attend our meetings!
