Searching for the Future: 2025-2029 Strategic Plan

Unitarian Universalists of Southern Delaware (UUSD) is at a pivotal point in our history. Over the past seven years, we have increased our member households by 60% and our operating budget target has increased 215%. Because of this rapid growth, we have moved from a pastoral-sized congregation to a program-sized congregation. In response, UUSD developed a 5-year plan designed to guide us into the future.

Annual Meeting

At the Annual Meeting usually held in early June, the entire congregation of members meets to vote on our budget for the upcoming year; elect members of the congregation to two leadership groups: the Board of Trustees and the Leadership Development Committee; receive the Annual Report from the staff and committees, and conduct other business as needed. Occasionally we hold all member congregational meetings to address special questions that have arisen. An absentee ballot is available for those members who are not able to attend the meeting.

Board of Trustees Meeting Documents

Board meetings are held twice monthly. The planning meeting usually takes place on the 2nd Tuesday of the month from 10:00 a.m.-12:00 noon (Zoom only). The regular business meeting is held on the 4th Wednesday of the month from 3:00-5:00 p.m. (Hybrid). There will be only one Board meeting in November and December. Date & Time TBD. The Agenda, Meeting Minutes, Financial Reports, and other documents to be addressed are available for members to review. If you wish to attend, please contact Paul Barnette, Board President, to be included in the Zoom invitation. The Agenda, Meeting Minutes, Finance Reports, and other documents to be addressed are available for members to review. Members are always welcome to attend the meetings.
