Governance

Bylaws

The Powers and Duties of the Board of Directors and the Advisory Board are stated in our Bylaws along with the Covenant of Responsibilities (Brit) that each Director and Advisor must agree to and uphold. Per the Bylaws, all Directors and Advisors shall be members in good standing; and no one may serve as an Elected Director or Advisor who has been a member for less than one year.

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is the Synagogue’s governing body and has the responsibility for overseeing management of the affairs of the Congregation, general oversight of the Congregation’s operations, and setting policies. The Board of Directors is comprised of 18 to 21 Congregants and meets approximately once a month. In addition, Directors participate in leadership development and are expected to serve on committees and actively engage in synagogue-wide activities. Please note, synagogue policy does not allow spouses to simultaneously serve on the Board of Directors.

Applications are on hold for 2024.

Advisory Board

The Advisory Board serves as an advisory body to the Board of Directors and is a steppingstone in Temple Emanuel leadership. Advisors serve a valuable role in offering guidance to the Board of Directors, serving on committees, and participating in special projects at the request of the President or Board of Directors. The Advisory Board is comprised of 50-75 elected Advisors and meets four times a year.
