Process Guide
As a community, we make decisions transparently and collaboratively and seek ways to engage all our members in our various activities. There are two main areas of decision-making.
- The Board advances the UUFM mission through conversation, partnership, and policy-making.
- The Community Team catalyzes and sustains UUFM activities through delegation, supervision, coordination, and communication. We hold and share institutional knowledge and make decisions related to Fellowship life.
The map below shows the various areas of decision-making within the Fellowship. For detailed information, check out the UUFM Process Guide, our collaborative, dynamic how-to guide for doing things within the Fellowship. If you have a question or correction, please email the leaders listed or our Office and Communications Coordinator.
