Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees is responsible for establishing, amending, interpreting, and enforcing Chapel policies in accordance with the by-laws. The Board also delegates responsibility, authority, and accountability to the minister and board committees. The Board is composed of members who are elected by the congregation for staggered three-year terms. The Lead Minister and Director of Business Administration are ex officio, non-voting members of the board.
The Board meets the third Wednesday of the month at 6:30 pm in Adams Hall. Meetings are open to anyone in the Eliot community.
