Motion 20161117-3 Motion to adopt Policy Governance Philosophy statement:

Using democratic processes, the membership of the Boise Unitarian Universalist Fellowship (BUUF) elects a Board of Directors to function as its governing body and the membership calls a Minister to serve as BUUF’s spiritual, programmatic, and administrative leader. Together the Board of Directors

and the Minister work to help the Fellowship follow its mission and vision. The Board of Directors, led by the President, is responsible for the long-term mission and well-being of the congregation through the creation and adoption of governance policies. The paid and volunteer staff, led by the Minister, is responsible for the operational decisions, adopting administrative policies and procedures, and allocating congregational resources except as specifically

limited by these policies.

Motion to Approve: Gwyn

 Seconded (Sarah Bratley) and passed by unanimous voice vote
