FRS Constitution and Bylaws
It's been a year since the FRS Parish Committee formed a task force called the Governance Committee, charged with assisting the Parish Committee in creating the structure needed to best fulfill the mission and vision of the Society.
During this last year the task force has focused its attention on the Constitution and Bylaws, ensuring that this ever evolving, growing congregation has the tools to effectively govern through this most important document. The committee has a final draft of the proposed new bylaws and with the Parish Committee's approval will present them to the congregation for discussion and then a vote.
Two meetings will be held, the first on February 19 directly after church in the sanctuary, the second on March 4 also directly after church. During these meetings the members of the task force will answer questions, give rationale for suggested changes and will address any comments or concerns. Your feedback will give thecommittee an opportunity to make other changes, or to tweak the proposed changes.
The meetings will prepare the congregation for a vote to be taken at a congregational meeting that will be held on Sunday, April 1, directly after church. This vote will be for approval of the proposed bylaws.
Your opinion, concerns, and questions matter. Please plan to attend one of these meetings. To help you prepare for this meeting go to the right side of this page to download the document which lays the current and proposed versions of the Constitution and Bylaws next to each other, and gives a rationale for the changes made. The document is called "Comparison Chart of Current and Proposed Bylaws". We invite your comments.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing you at one or all of our upcoming meetings.
Annie Madden, chair of Governance Committee; Jeff Bard, chair of Parish Committee; and the following members of the Governance Committee: Marie Murphy, Ned McClung, Nathan Wilbur, Harold Babcock, and John Mercer
