Are you committed, talented and passionate about your relationship with God and about First United Church?  If you answer yes to the above then you might be interested in furthering the work of this church by joining the Board team!

If you would like to be part of this enthusiastic team we want to hear from you!  Review the list of open positions below, and if you feel called to this work, please contact Jackie, the Board chair (998-3851) or Rev. Danielle (998-4060) for more information.

The process for joining the Board changed with the change in Board Governance over two years ago. It has evolved from a nomination process, where someone’s name was put forward followed by a vote, to several conversations about gifts and skills for a particular role.

Names can still be brought forward, then the Board/Minister will contact that person and be in discussion with them as to their particular gifts and interests.  They will receive a package explaining process, commitment time and expectations.

You can click on the link to the Board Governance Policy to check out the description and mandate of the Board.

Going into 2013 there are 2 opportunities for you to be part of the Board:

Chair-Elect

Chair Elect of the Board serves for one year with full voting privileges prior to assuming the role of Board Chair.  This position is mentored by the chair position and work collaboratively on some matters.

1 Position for Member at Large

Members at large are part of the succession model that is a mandate of the Board.  It is an entry level position where those curious about Board work and willing to develop skills and gifts for this kind of work are invited to participate. The incumbents will in part support the Board in meeting the “now” vision of the Church and should have the gifts and talent to be visionaries for the longer term.
