The Nominating Committee is delighted to place before the members of the Fellowship the following nominees for the Board of Trustees, the Healthy Congregation Committee, and the Nominating Committee. Voting for these seats will take place during ERUUF’s Annual Meeting on Sunday, May 31.
The Nominating Committee worked diligently on developing these slates of candidates, beginning in August of last year. We sought recommendations, reached out to potential candidates, sponsored talks during Sunday service, tabled, interviewed candidates and had a lengthy discernment meeting to come to consensus. We believe the nominees listed below represent a fantastic cross-section of the Fellowship and will bring unique talents, experience and perspectives to their respective roles should you choose to elect them.

Click here to take the Pulse Survey.
The Pulse Survey, an annual feedback tool, is being conducted by the Committee for Evaluation of Ministry (CEM) at the request of the Board of Trustees.
You may wonder why the Pulse Survey is conducted annually. First, ERUUF is a dynamic community experiencing both growth and emerging opportunities. Second, the Pulse Survey is an important tool to look at not just 2025 data but to analyze year-to-year trends.
A new phase has been reached in the COVID-19 virus.
As a spiritual community, we at ERUUF strive to create a culture of respect and care for one another. Our Covid-19 policies have been guided by serious concern and consideration for the safety and well-being of all ERUUF members, staff, and visitors, with a commitment to equity and care for the most vulnerable among us and those who are marginalized both at ERUUF and in the larger community.
