The  CVUU Board of Directors met on Thursday, March 16th, 2023, via Zoom. Board meeting minutes are typically available upon request from the CVUU Board Secretary or the Congregational Administrator (Susie Gullixson) approximately 30 days after the date of the Board meeting. The Board meets every month, either via Zoom or in person. The meeting is usually on the third Thursday of each month at 7 PM. The meeting is open to congregants to observe. Congregants who want to present items to the Board must notify CVUU Board President Steve Ciganek prior to the meeting, so they can be included on the agenda. The following is a synopsis of pertinent items. The next Board meeting will be on April 20, 2023.
