Committee Chairs Council

The Committee Chairs Council is made up of all the chairs from all the various groups at First Unitarian.  That’s more than 30 groups!

The President-Elect is usually the “Chair of Chairs” and sets the agenda.  The Council usually meets in the Assembly room on the fourth Tuesday of the month. 

It is primarily responsible for coordinating across programs, activities, room use, and multi-group collaborations throughout the busy church year.

It also assists the Board of Trustees when called upon and finds a church sponsor for special projects suggested by church members. (Ex: If a church member wanted to offer a new class for adults at the church, then Adult RE would be the likely sponsor.  If a church member wanted to organize a benefit concert for a worthy cause, then the Music Committee would be the likely sponsor.)

Council members also provide updates to the congregation from the committees at congregational meetings, and in the annual report at the end of the year.


Officers:

  • Cat Rigby (Acting Chair)

    Board of Trustees

    The Board of Trustees (BOT) is comprised of elected church members who serve as the decision-making body which sets the general direction of the Church. The minister is a non-voting member.

    The Board is responsible for planning, policy making, personnel and financial management, with input from staff and the congregation. The minister is a non-voting member.

    The BOT officers (President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer) compromise the BOT Executive committee. They meet and set the agenda for BOT meetings on the first Monday of the month. The full BOT meets on the second Monday of each month.

    Committee on Ministry

    The Committee on Ministry (CoM) is dedicated to the well being of our congregation. Our role is that of assessment and recommendation on all items affecting the health of the church and its people in the fulfillment of its missions through its ministries.

    While the Board of Trustees is charged with operation and governance and the Council with program development, it is the role of the CoM to focus on the health of the whole. Our only authority is the respect afforded us in this role.

    In 2008-2009 the Committee on Ministry (CoM) is also the Transition Team. As part of our transition to a newly settled minister we will be honoring our history as First Unitarian Church of Orlando. We will be devising unique ways in which each of us can tell our story and have fun along the way!

    If you have any questions, concerns, suggestions or other thoughts, please do not hesitate to contact any member of the CoM.
