At the Annual Meeting in June 2024, the congregation will elect four members to serve on the Board of Trustees (BOT) and three to five members for the Leadership Development Committee (LDC). Those elected will serve two-year terms from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2026.
LDC is coordinating an Interactive Prospective Candidate Session on February 22 at 6 p.m. to help you learn more. We will provide information and insights about these elected positions, the self-nomination process, and any questions you might have. We encourage all members to join us to learn more! The Session will be held in person (with snacks!) and on-line via the following link:

Each newly elected member will bring their unique perspective and experiences to advance UUSD’s mission and vision. They will also bring their love for our growing community and appreciation for those leaders who, like them, made a commitment to serve their congregation as elected leaders when they were needed most. If you want to make an impact on the direction of UUSD and experience the personal sense of accomplishment from fulfilling that commitment, then consider serving on your BOT or on LDC.
How to Get on the Ballot for Elected Office: UUSD members who want to be placed on the ballot for either the Board or Leadership Development, must complete a Self-Nomination form and return it to LDC by March 31. All UUSD members are eligible to self-nominate. Leadership Development will accept Self-Nomination forms from February 1 through March 31 and Leadership Development will then be in touch with potential candidates for further discussion. The Self-Nomination form is posted on the UUSD website and forms will also be available in the foyer at UUSD.
While only four members will be elected to the Board and three to five members for LDC, we encourage many more self-nominations for these openings. We operate democratically. The congregation will evaluate self-nominees and elect those they feel are most qualified to serve.
What Elected Leaders Do: The BOT and LDC have developed position descriptions of their responsibilities and duties to help prospective candidates better under this commitment. These descriptions are also posted on the website. In addition, prospective candidates are encouraged to attend a few Board meetings, speak with current and former Board members, and review the UUSD Bylaws.
What’s Next: Leadership Development is responsible for identifying and supporting future leaders. If you are considering running for the Board or Leadership Development, please contact us for a conversation. We are interested in connecting with you and helping you work through this important decision. You can reach us at LeadershipDevelopment@uussd.org.
