2009 Committee & Group Strategic Objectives
Unitarian Universalist Church of Fort Lauderdale (UUCFL)

We polled our committee chairs and group leaders on four areas of focus and asked them to respond as applicable to their committees. Their answers follow.

Links on this page:

Bylaws -- Kip Barkley

Be self sustaining:
  • Decrease community praise of low giving
  • Honor lead donors separate from solicitations
  • Build a wish list in $100-$1000 range of stuff we need
Increase volunteers by providing engaging projects and activities:
  • Amend bylaws when they don't match how we do things
  • Offer thanks to volunteers
  • Extend personal invitations with boundaries in time
Learn how we can grow within a large liberal population:
  • Seek to guests and new members
  • Stop poor mouthing and Christian barking
  • Do more in the large community
Revise the mission statement:
  • Keep it short and sweet
  • Short enough to memorize
  • Recite it at services and meetings

Choir -- David Fisher

Be self sustaining:
  • Recruit (Endowment?) funds for expanding scope of music offerings (half-time director at fair compensation rate)
  • Fund for semi-annual tuning of both pianos
Increase volunteers by providing engaging projects and activities:
  • Start a chime choir for all ages (Equipment = $1,000)
  • Start a bell choir for all ages (Equipment = $10,000)
Learn how we can grow within a large liberal population:
  • Encourage staff choir members to attend UU Musicians Network annual conference (in August each year)
Revise the mission statement:
  • Add a "bullet point" for engaging drummer, keyboard, etc. for contemporary music

Interweave -- Ken Beier

Increase volunteers by providing engaging projects and activities:
  • Identify community needs or events in which Interweave can be engaged (e.g., Pride Day, and and lesbian spirituality and health issues).
Learn how we can grow within a large liberal population:
  • See previous bullet. Participation in community events gives UUCFL exposure and provides a sense of meaning to those participating
