Getting Your Voice Heard
If you’re unable to attend the Annual Meeting and are a voting member, please consider asking someone to vote for you by proxy.
Voting members who are not able to participate may designate a proxy per the bylaws:
- Each Voting Member, in addition to his or her own vote, may vote a maximum of one proxy vote.
Voting will be for Board of Trustees and a bylaw change.
Proxy forms will be available in the Atrium beginning October 28, 2018.
You can also download proxy forms here.
Your proxy is required to have a form signed by you. Please fill it out, sign it, and then give it to whomever is going to act as your proxy. Please note: members may only hold one proxy.
Board Candidates
There are two candidates vetted by the Nominating Ministry Team running for the two open positions on the Board of Trustees:
- John Dickman
- John Kell
Both candidates will be attending the “Meet The Candidates” sessions after both services on Sunday, October 28. Both will speak at the Annual Membership Meeting. Per Bylaws, the presiding officer of the meeting shall “call for additional nominations from the floor.”

Bylaw Amendment Vote
The Unity of Fairfax Board of Trustees is proposing an amendment to the Bylaws. Such amendments require a ⅔ majority vote of Voting Members at a congregational meeting. Notification of the vote must be emailed to all Voting Members at least 15 days in advance. The vote is scheduled for the Annual Meeting, Sunday, November 4, 2018, 12:30 p.m. (after the 11 a.m. service).
The proposed change would allow for electronic participation in board meetings.
