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 is an ex officio, non-voting member 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.

September 2025 Board Bits
- The Board’s Conflict of Interest policy was read and discussed. No conflicts were identified. Members were asked to inform BOT should any arise.
- Eliot Chapel has been gifted a house in Tower Grove Park. This is a substantial, unrestricted gift from Chad Keller, a beloved member who recently passed away.
- The Open Questions Committee (Matthew Hull, Bob Becker, and Steve Jarrett) has begun its work. Two congregational discussions were held Sunday, September 26. The first Open Question is: How shall we center love in our care of one another?
- This month’s thoughtful question directed to the Board came from Rev. Krista: How do you access your courage? What would prompt you to access your courage and how would you do so? Find out more about the Three Open Questions process here.
