At the annual membership meeting, members elect a Board of Trustees for the upcoming year. Officers of the Board (President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer) are elected from among the Board members. The Board is responsible for policy decisions, contracts, coordination among committees and month-to-month operation of the Society.

Committees and other work groups carry out much of the work of the Society. Check the who's who page on this site for a list of contact people for the various committees as well as one-person tasks. Committee chairs or coordinators can provide a description of the committee's goals and activities.

The Society is a self-sustaining organization, supported by the time, energy, creativity and financial support of our members.

While few people join an Ethical Society with the goal of contributing their time to the operation of the Society, most members find that their volunteer work with the Society is not only essential to the Society's present and future, but can be fun, rewarding and a good learning experience.

Even new members and people who have not (yet?) joined the Society offer their help with such weekly activities as set-up and clean-up of our rented space, providing snacks for the social hour after Platform, staffing committees and work groups, teaching Sunday School, etc. We hope that no one is shy in offering to help where help is needed!

Staff members of the Society are:

• our professional Leader, Jone Johnson Lewis, who serves the Society half-time; and

• our Director of Religious Education, Lynn Konnerth, who has a quarter-time position, managing the operation of the Sunday School and working with the Sunday School and Curriculum committees.
