As a Reconstructionist congregation, Congregation Agudas Achim is committed to democratic and inclusive decision-making processes and seek input from the large body of members on given topics when appropriate.
The synagogue is governed by a Board of Trustees elected by the congregation. Synagogue programs, activities, and operations are organized by committees, including a volunteer chair and members. Each committee has a liaison to the Board to ensure open communication across congregational leadership.
Board members are elected at the Annual Meeting for terms of two years. Terms are staggered to avoid a complete turnover of the board every year. Open board positions can be filled at any time.
