Commission on Appraisal
The Commission on Appraisal (COA) is charged to "review any function or activity of the Association which in its judgment will benefit from an independent review and report its conclusions to a regular General Assembly." The Commission meets four times a year—once at General Assembly, and three working meetings held in Boston and other locations throughout the country. During most of their meetings, they hold open hearings to which they invite local Unitarian Universalists so they can hear as many of the different voices of our movement as possible.
Mission Statement
Grounded in the living tradition of our free and responsible faith, yet charged with acting independently, the Commission’s mission is to provoke deep reflection and to evoke timely, creative transformation of Unitarian Universalism, our congregations, and the Unitarian Universalist Association.
