STEWARD | TRUSTEE COMMITTEE REPORT
Committee Reporting Standard and Submission Report
UNION A.M.E. CHURCH
STEWARD / TRUSTEE COMMITTEE REPORT
Committee Reporting Standard & Submission Requirement
To strengthen governance, accountability, and operational excellence across Union A.M.E. Church, all Steward and Trustee Board committees are required to submit written committee reports no later than forty-eight (48) hours prior to any scheduled Steward or Trustee Board meeting.
This reporting standard is non-negotiable and serves several critical purposes:
• It ensures committees complete their due diligence before matters reach the full Board
• It allows Board members to review, pray over, and consider recommendations thoughtfully
• It prevents last-minute or emotionally driven decision-making
• It protects the integrity of the Board by ensuring clarity, accuracy, and preparedness
• It enables Board meetings to be conducted efficiently while maintaining high standards of governance
Committees are the engine of the Board’s work. The full Board exists to review, affirm, and act—not to perform committee-level research, debate, or discovery in real time.
This committee reporting tool establishes a higher standard of excellence, transparency, and accountability, ensuring that Union continues to grow in a healthy, sustainable, and well-governed manner.
No committee report submitted by the 48-hour deadline will be eligible for Board action unless authorized by the Chair.
