Common use of Governance Options Clause in Contracts

Governance Options. Governance models, including the role and authority of the Minister, vary greatly from congregation to congregation – often determined by congregational size. In adopting language for this section of the Agreement, Congregational leaders need to be clear about the role of the Minister in Congregational Governance. Does the Minister serve as Lead Exec/CEO or Head-of-Staff, or does the Board take the lead on staffing issues? How do consistency, clarity, and accountability for staff supervision and support as well as alignment of mission and goals across programmatic areas occur? UUA Congregational Life Staff, including your Transitions Coach, and your Interim/Developmental Minister are available to help your leadership team review your current governance structure, consider other governance models, and help you to settle upon the appropriate management role for your next called Minister.
