CUC Board of Trustees
The CUC Board of Trustees is responsible for governing the organization in the best interests of the ownership, the member congregations of the CUC. The Board has adopted the Carver model of policy governance, and governs through the setting and monitoring of appropriate Board polices.
The Board, together with the Executive Director and Official Observers, meet face-to-face several times a year, and regularly by teleconference.
