Given these extraordinary days of COVID-19 and physical distancing, we will not be able to come together at church for our 2020 Annual Meeting. The meeting will instead be presented via Facebook Live on Sunday, June 28, 2020, at 12:00 pm @UUSantaMonica.

 

Please note that this virtual Annual Meeting will be considered an “interim” business meeting. Voting will be conducted in the weeks prior to June 28th, and the results will be announced during the streamed event. We will be sharing more details about online and mail-in voting very soon. Look also for further email blasts with updates on the budget and the Annual Meeting. Stay tuned!

 

Below you will find the agenda for the Annual Meeting and the slate of candidates for the Board of Directors and Nominating Committee with a link to their bios. The election results will be ratified at a future meeting when the congregation is able to come together once again in real life and be physically present for one another.

 

Sincerely, 

 

                                                      

Beth Brownlie                                                     Norm Richey

Vice President, Board of Directors                     Secretary, Board of Directors
