How FUSN Is Managed


This congregation is a corporation wholly owned by its members and governed using a representative process with regular elections of officers, a set of bylaws, an annual meeting of the full society, and the power to call the minister or ministers of its choice.

Governance History

In April 2009 a proposal was published for a major update to the longstanding governance of FUSN.

Organizational Structure

The primary organizational structures of FUSN are the Board of Trustees, the Operations Council, the Steering Committee, and the Committees.

By-Laws

A set of by-laws created by members of the society provides rules for governance of the society's affairs. A Bylaws Committee interprets the meaning and application of the bylaws and consults on changes.

Annual Reports

Each year FUSN publishes an annual report that includes updates from all of the committees and the Board.

Elected Officers

The Nominating Committee organizes yearly elections of officers.

Professional staff

FUSN relies on a small team of dedicated professional staff.
