Membership & Committees

Thank you for your interest in joining the Racial Unity Team (RUT). We welcome your involvement. Team Volunteers support the mission of the organization by joining project groups and committees; they are committed to working together to foster diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice.  

Voting membership in RUT is reserved for those who have demonstrated support of our mission by their active participation in projects and committees. Members regularly attend Team meetings and participate in other meetings, committees, or projects.

Voting members fulfill quorums for voting on official business transactions and vote on such business as new board members, amendments to the by-laws, and final approval of the annual budget.
