Annual Board Retreats   
Bill Derr, President, Board of Management

  
Last month's Nugget article reviewed the gains that have been realized from having a smaller UUCW Board of Management. This month's nugget will present some of the benefits of annual Board retreats. These changes are part of the UUCW policy governance system experiment. This article is intended to introduce some of the information that will be released by the board later this year explaining the results of this experiment, now in its third year.
 
As part of the Policy Governance System the Board started having annual retreats that allow the opportunity to accomplish several things that can be hard to accommodate during regular monthly meetings. These items include: 
  • New Board member training where new members learn about the aspects of the UUCW including the Policy Governance system, the finances of the church, and human resources procedures. This training allows new Board members to be successful right from the beginning of their terms.
  • Setting annual goals for itself and the CE/Minister.
  • Strategic long term planning (5 years out or more).
