Special Congregational Meeting

AGENDA HERE 

Members are called to a Special Congregational Meeting Sunday, November 2, 2025 12:30 PM following the morning service. Light refreshments will be provided.

There will be an update about the recommendations from the Marketing and Research Study recently provided by Margo Long Consulting (Summary here) . There will also be an opportunity for discussion of the report and the first steps proposed by the board. 

One of these initial steps is to change our operating name to remove the barrier that religious words such as “congregation” have for younger people. We are planning t0 install an updated sign and improved lighting out front so this is the time to make any changes. This involves another bylaw change so we need twenty-five percent of the membership in attendance to have quorum. Passage of the motion requires a majority of seventy-five percent of those members in attendance for passage. 

Special Resolution

Proposed bylaw change

 Motion: That Westwood  change the operating name of the Westwood Unitarian Society from  “Westwood Unitarian Congregation” to “Westwood Unitarian Community”.

There will also be information on other board activities and opportunities for discussion.
