Changes to Policies and Bylaws

Providing your feedback

Creating or revising a policy, bylaw, or other governance document can be a two-step process. First the draft can be posted here so members can read and comment on the document. Second, the sponsor can post the final version which is being recommended to the Board of Trustees or the congregation for adoption.

Members can provide feedback about drafts to the sponsor and about recommended versions to the Board of Trustees.
