The Executive Committee provides staff support to the Board, considering matters that may require Board attention. The committee has no decision-making responsibility and is charged with presenting assessments and recommendations to the Board. It consists of the six elected officers and the immediate past president. The committee has one regularly scheduled meeting each month, approximately half way between regularly scheduled Board meetings. It holds other meetings as necessary to assist in the smooth functioning of the Board and congregation. Any Board member may attend committee meetings and congregation members are invited, as appropriate, to present information that assists the committee in its fact-finding efforts.

The Finance Committee oversees all aspects of the financial affairs and health of the congregation on behalf of the Board and works closely with and provides advice and counsel to the Treasurer. Its principal role is to develop analyses and recommendations for consideration by the Board. The committee assists the Treasurer in closely monitoring the congregation’s financial health throughout the year including net cash flow, cash balances and comparisons with budgets and longer term financial plans. It also works closely with the Treasurer to ensure effective financial processes and controls are in place, as well as the development of the annual budget and other financial plans. Committee members include the Treasurer and up to five congregation members in good standing deemed to have the requisite skills and experience to competently discharge the committee’s responsibilities.

This committee offers a warm welcome to new as well as long-time members. It recruits and orients new members to the Congregation, encourages their participation and develops and implements programs to retain all members.
