What a long day! We started at 8 am and finished at 9pm. Mostly it was the retreat today. It was a very good session and I got a lot of very good ideas for working with other boards that I think will be helpful. It certainly will be helpful to our own work on the Board.
This evcenings session was time spent working with a consultant on policy governance. The Board is well on its way to adopting this model and has begun working on it it in earnest. We sahll see how it works with an organizartion in which the CEO is elected and accountable to the member congregations. I shall keep you informed.
More tomorow.
PSWD Trustee to the UUA Board
- Tom Loughrey
- I became the PSWD Trustee to the UUA Board in June of 2006 when Rev Ned Wight resigned to take a position in New York. In the fall of that same year I was elected to the position to complete the term ending in June of 2009. I am a 28 year member of Orange Coast in Costa Mesa and was previously a member of congregations in State College, PA and Gainesville, FL. I have served on the PSWD Board and have served on the deBenneville Board as a member and president. As part of my responsibilities as your Trustee I also sit as a voting member on the PSWD Board. On the UUA Board I serve in several capacities including Secretary of the Association and as a member of the Committee on Committees, which makes recommendations to the whole Board on appointments to various UUA Committees. In addition I have recently been appointed to the Governance Working Group. My wife Nancy, a former PSWD President, and I live in Orange, CA. We are the parents of three grown children and three grandsons, all of whom are increasingly spread around the country. Professionally, I am a health care manager and consultant primarily involved with physician practices.

Thanks, Tera. The night got longer with these Boston red Sox fans waiting to see who won the game with the Indians. It was Boston. So tomorrow night the game is here in town.
