Board proposes changes to constitution and bylaws

Six board members and Conference Minister Phil Hodson met Oct. 3 to 5 at Pilgrim Firs to discuss the PNC-UCC constitution and by-laws a length and edited them to fit our current needs as a conference.

Names of the 2025-26 PNC-UCC Board of Directors.

The Board plans to take them “on the road” before the Annual Meeting, which will be March 13 to 15 at the DoubleTree Suites Southcenter in Seattle, so people can read them over and ask questions.

The Board will set that up as soon as edits are updated and will let everyone know of the dates and locations through the conference’s weekly e-news.

In addition to the constitution and by-laws revisions, the Board discussed Phil’s evaluation by the Personnel Committee in executive session. Because several people did not complete the evaluation by the deadline, the Personnel Committee asks for their feedback so the Board can include their perspectives.

We plan to review the evaluations more thoroughly at our November meeting and vote on next steps.

Sandy was grateful to Mark Boyd, executive director of outdoor ministries, and the staff at Pilgrim Firs for hosting the Board, which shared the camp with a women’s guitar group. Sandy said “One of their leaders joined the board briefly to thank us for our work and share how much the camp means to them.”

She also announced that the Annual Meetings theme for 2026 is “Come and See.” Annual Meeting planners are looking for congregations to make two-to three-minute videos highlighting their missions and achievements in the last year. The videos may  be sent to Beth Astarte—office@pncucc.org. She will help edit them as needed.

“Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a video for each church?” Sandy challenged.
