|
Day-to-day operation of the Havurah is in the hands of an 8-person board of directors, elected by the membership to staggered three-year terms. The board normally meets monthly. Board members select a Chair, Co-Chair, Secretary and Treasurer, and appoint committees responsible for specific areas of operation (Beit Sefer, membership, newsletter, etc.) All major policy decisions are made by vote of the membership, normally preceded by significant open discussion with an attempt to reach as great a community consensus as possible. In order to keep the community broadly participatory, general practice is that members rotate off the board after serving one or two terms.
