Open Forum: MNS Governance Structure Change Proposals

  • Messiah Lutheran Church 16725 Highview Avenue Lakeville, MN, 55044 United States (map)

Over the past year and a half, the Board of Directors for the Minnesota South District have been learning about the advantages of a hybrid policy governance structure.  This is the model and structure the Synod Board of Directors uses to conduct its work. Making a change to this governance model clarifies the fiduciary responsibility of the Board and the Ecclesiastical Supervision of the District President and aligns it with the Synod’s governance practices. A change would primarily impact how the Board goes about its fiduciary business, however doing so would require changes in the MNS District’s Bylaws.

Come to this Open Forum to learn about these proposed changes in advance of the June 2025 convention and the impact these changes will have on how we work together.
