The URI Global Council is the decision-making body of the URI. Global Council trustees are elected by CCs in each region. Its purpose is to support URI's membership in making real the vision and values of the Preamble, Purpose and Principles. The Global Council's central spirit is not one of control, but rather one of service informed by deep listening to the hopes and aspirations of the whole URI community. The Global Council inspires and supports the URI worldwide community in cooperative global action.

The Global Council is responsible to develop financial and other resources to meet the needs of the URI, Inc. The Global Council will accept eligible applicants for membership to the URI and manage the affairs of the URI, Inc.

 

Global Council Trustees

There are currently 29 Global Council Trustees. The Trustees of the URI are exemplars who manifest the vision and values of the Preamble, Purpose and Principles, and who model leadership and service by their actions. They have a deep commitment to serve the whole of the URI community.
