Board & Leadership
At MUUS, many people share in the good work of our congregation! We honor the skills of our lay leaders, who make important contributions in shaping our congregational life. As part of our tradition as a faith that uses the democratic process, we elect our leaders from among us.
Governing Board
Our Board typically consists of a President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer and three Members-at-large, along with the Minister as an ex officio participant. Board members are elected to two-year terms by vote of the congregation. The email to reach the entire Board is: board@muusct.org
