Board of Directors
Our bylaws give the Board of Directors responsibility for setting the direction of the church. The Board’s principal activities are oversight of the Ministers and the Operations and Management Council. The Board creates policies to reflect the congregation’s vision and mission, and that direct and guide the work of staff and volunteers
Board members
Board members are elected by the congregation, and serve two-year terms. The current Board is
- Ram Kakarala, President
- Arthur Henrick, Treasurer
- Diana Mecum, Secretary
- Ray Kiddy, Director
- Meredy Halen, Director
- Ruby Delgros, Director
The below links show the Board’s policies, meeting agendas, and minutes.
Board meetings
The Board meets monthly on the first Thursday of each month, as shown on our calendar. If you’d like to attend and speak at Board meetings, please contact the Board President
Congregational meetings and town halls
The Board and OMC jointly organize Congregational Meetings, at which the congregation votes to elect leaders, approve budgets, or approve resolutions. Town Halls are also meetings of the congregation, but they are for sharing information rather than voting. Both congregational meetings and town halls are announced by weekly email, and in church services. Further information is available at the page link below.
Additional information
- The Board awards, every year, the Watkins Award to the most outstanding volunteer.
- The Board is advised by the Covid-19 Task Force, which serves both the church and the Third Street community center.
