UUMA Nominating Committee

Answer The Call

Are you called to lead, grow, and serve our UUMA and our faith?
You may be the person the Nominating Committee is seeking.

 LeadWe know you have hopes and dreams for our association and our faith. You can help lead the way toward making them real. Your contribution to our evolving collective wisdom can help us to become all that we long to be, together. If you are called to lead in this way, the opportunity awaits.
 Grow As you already know if you have served at the chapter level or on a continental UUMA committee, the benefits flow both ways: leaders develop their professional skills, forge more profound connections to colleagues, feel closer to the source of their calling, and deepen their understanding of their faith. If you would like to grow in these ways, say yes to UUMA leadership. Your passion for our faith and colleagues will inspire you on the journey.
ServeThe past few years have been tumultuous and promising ones for Unitarian Universalism. In the UUMA, in the UUA, and in the settings where we serve, we as religious leaders have been striving and stretching to live into the call for justice, integrity and love. If you know that you were called to the ministry for just such a time as this, we want you. Commitment like yours will help all of us to be the leaders our movement, and our world, need right now.
