Moderator invites members to join Board meetings
The Executive Committee of the PNC-UCC Board of Directors will be interviewing candidates in April and hiring an acting conference minister by May so the new person will have some time to overlap with Phil Hodson, who ends as designated conference minister in June, said Sandy Wisecarver, board moderator.
Annual Meeting will be held |
She also reported that Annual Meeting 2027 will be held Saturday and Sunday, April 24 to 25, at the DoubleTree Hotel in South Center again.
“The location is convenient for those in Alaska to come,” she said, inviting donations to help youth and delegates coming from Alaska with air fare and the hotel costs. “We are also returning to that hotel because they provided good technology to connect with people who were on Zoom,” Sandy said. “With everyone in the same hotel, we were able to visit after the meetings and spend more time building relationships.”
The Youth Leadership Council, proposed at the Annual Meeting and approved at the April Board meeting, will choose a representative to serve on the Board to bring more youth voices to it.
Sandy said that the Board of Directors meets from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on first Tuesdays each month.
“If anyone wants to come and observe and have voice but no vote, they should let me know so I can send the link,” said Sandy.
“The Board is living into the new Constitution and Bylaws and will be figuring on the new term limits for members, with terms being three rather than two years,” she continued. “We aspire to have one-third of each of the committees to be BIPOC and other historically underrepresented groups.”
In addition, she invited people with ideas for forming new committees, such as in social justice areas, to ask the board to form a committee or advisory council.
The board will hold a retreat June 5 to 6 at Fauntleroy UCC in Seattle.
