  • Keep the congregation informed on denominational matters.
  • Serve as a link between the congregation and other denominational elements such as other Unitarian Universalist congregations, Thomas Jefferson District, the Unitarian Universalist Association, and associate and affiliate organizations.
  • Promote participation of members and the congregation as a whole in inter-congregation, District and continental activities, including the Chalice Lighter program.
  • Budget for denominational participation such as fair share contributions to UUA and District, general training activities, and denominational meetings and conferences.
