What is the Member Board of Trustees?
The Member Board of Trustees is the leadership team that works with the President-Minister and Vice President to manage Awakening Together. They are responsible for all aspects of leadership including drafting policies and procedures, leading subcommittees, addressing issues, and more. The Member Board of Trustees currently meets via Zoom on the first Monday of each month from 7:45-9:15 pm ET. You can find out what they discuss and decide at these meetings by perusing the Trustee Meeting Minutes.
Who can be nominated to the Board of Trustees?
To be a Trustee, one must have been an Awakening Together member for at least 2 years. It is also important that they have a desire to serve Awakening Together as a member of the Board of Trustees.
Are all nominees put on the ballot?
Yes! Awakening Together has simplified the nomination process so that all members who receive nominations will be placed on the official election ballot.
How many people can I nominate or support?
Each member may nominate up to two nominees since there are two seats available to be filled on the Member Board of Trustees.
How are nominees elected to the Member Board of Trustees?
The ballot will be sent to all members via email on July 3. You will have until July 17 to place your vote. The two nominees receiving the most votes during the ballot process will be elected to the Member Board of Trustees.
