Many people working together for one mission.
Board of Trustees
The Board is made up of 12 members and one "keeper of the Flame" elected by the conference body. Ministers, licensed teachers and congregants are all eligible, based on qualifications. The move from a representative board to best-qualified is based on the belief that an organization can go only as far as the capabilities of the leaders. Board members are listed here.
Leadership Recruitment and Development Team
This team, made up of eight members, identifies candidates for the Board and for itself, based on the best-qualified for the job to be done. This team has a significant impact on our Association, both now and in the future. Our goal is to have diverse representation of skilled ministers, licensed teachers, young adults and lay members who are well grounded in Unity.
Ministry Teams
Volunteers are appointed to serve on Ministry Teams. Each team has a different purpose. Teams work with a representative from the Board and from our staff. They develop ideas and gather information, forming recommendations which are submitted to the Board of Trustees. To find our more about the teams, visit this page.
