what is an incorporated trustees
When a church becomes incorporated, it appoints trustees. The trustees have the ability to change deeds, take out loans, and work with any other legal documents the church requires.
The possessive form of the plural noun trustees is trustees'.
It's mainly a state matter. Churches are usually recognized as an incorporated legal entity by the state. Often, the state requires that incorporated legal entities have trustees, which are the board that conducts the legal affairs of the church -- hold title to property, sign contracts, etc. So, many churches have opted to elect a board of trustees. Other churches will say that biblically there is no such church officer as trustee, so many churches believe that having trustees puts church organization out of alignment with scripture. However, a church does not need to elect trustees to fulfill the state requirement. All it has to do is appoint someone (it could be an elder board) to act as trustees in the eyes of the state. Some will argue that the elders have responsibility for spiritual matters and ministry of the word, so being a trustee is outside their area of expertise. No problem -- all the elders need to do is retain the role of trustee in the eyes of the state, but appoint members with expertise in buildings, property, etc, to advise them. They could even empower them with decision making. Bottom line is that a state usually requires an incorporated entity to have trustees, so many churches formalize that in their bylaws.

Yes, you use an apostrophe with the word "trustees" when indicating possession. For example, if you are referring to the decisions made by the trustees, you would write "the trustees' decisions." However, if you are simply using the word in a plural sense without possession, no apostrophe is needed, as in "the trustees met yesterday."
The appropriate salutation for a group of trustees typically begins with "Dear Trustees," or "Dear Members of the Board of Trustees," followed by a comma. This formal greeting acknowledges their collective role and respect for their position in the organization. If addressing a specific group, you could also include the name of the organization, such as "Dear Trustees of [Organization Name]."
