The UUAA Governing Policies are maintained by the Board of Trustees and describe the role of the Board and the Senior Minister in their shared leadership of UUAA. The policies guide oversight and goal setting for the congregation.
During 2016-17 a Governance Task Force was charged by the Board to review UUAA governance documents and structures and recommend changes. One result was a rewrite of our governing policies document. UUAA still uses policies to guide our governance, but we are not following a strict Carver Policy Governance model. The rewritten policies were adopted in September, 2017. The Board continues to improve the policies and is always open to suggestions from congregants.
The current version of the Governing Policies Document was updated in April, 2022.
