Draft Mission, Vision, Purpose Statements

Last May, the Board of Trustees introduced a draft set of statements for UUAA's mission, vision and purpose. The statements were created in collaboration between members of the Board, the Vision Leadership Team, UUAA staff, and our Vision 20/50 consultants. Please take time to read and think about these draft statements of UUAA Mission, Vision and Purpose. Discussion sessions will be coming in Fall 2021.
