Our Board of Trustees

Governance of UUAA is overseen by a 9 member elected Board of Trustees (Board). It is the Board that represents the congregation in setting the vision for the future of the Congregation. The Board delegates responsibility for implementing that vision to the Senior Minister. The Board works with both the staff and the Congregation to create a Strategic Plan that prioritizes the goals to be achieved by staff and lay ministries. The Board is responsible for monitoring the financial health and monitoring the overall operations of UUAA.

UUAA has lay teams to support both the governance and operation of UUAA. This page describes the governance teams. The lay teams that assist with operations are responsible to the Senior Minister, not the Board. Occasionally their work overlaps with governance issues and in those cases they would work in collaboration with the Board. Read more about the Shared Ministries Team and the other lay ministry support groups.
