Greetings UUCR Members,
This notice is to inform you that the General Annual Meeting of the Unitarian Universalist Church in Reston will be held on Sunday, February 23, 2025, 15 minutes after the Sunday service ends. The meeting will be held both in the Sanctuary and on Zoom (details below). You are encouraged to attend this meeting as a quorum is required.
The primary purpose of this General Annual Meeting is to ratify two Board appointments and elect various leadership positions for terms ranging from one to three years. There is also a proposed amendment to the Endowment Fund Resolution that is up for a vote and two other Board-adopted Finance Policies we are sharing (see attachments).
Elections will be held for two new Board members, Board President, Vice President, and Secretary; one at-large member of the Leadership Council; and three members of the Nominating Committee. Please see the Nominating Committee Report for the slate of nominees (including ongoing positions). That report and bios for the new nominees are available here - Nominating Committee Report.
The minutes of the 2024 Annual Meeting were approved by the Board and are available as #4 on the Member’s page: www.uureston.org/member-documents. (requires password to access)
The draft agenda and meeting Zoom information are included here below. Attached are the new Board-adopted policies on the Social Action and Justice Committee budget and formalizing the role of UUCR comptroller, as well as the proposed changes to the Endowment Fund Resolution.
