Under the new structure, staff members could pursue ideas in support of the stated outcomes. For instance, our social justice coordinator might find 100 ways to fulfill the "promise of our principles" in the world. Within the limits set by the board, she could initiate those programs and bring us all new opportunities to engage with the church and the community.

If an individual or group has an idea, they would approach the staff, who will confirm that it is in line with the policies of the church. If the member and staff can show sufficient resources and energies, the staff member will work with the group to develop a strategy for next steps. UUC is never short of great ideas!
