We are seeking fresh voices for leadership positions to strengthen the future of the MidAmerica Region! We have open positions for:

• MidAmerica Region Board of Trustees
• Midwest Unitarian Universalist Conference (MUUC)
• MidAmerica Nominating Committee

Our Region needs energetic people with diverse perspectives to fill these leadership positions. We are working to dismantle the legacy of white supremacy in our faith in order to create a collaborative environment with people from historically marginalized communities.

Some traits we value in candidates:

• Willingness to collaborate with others
• Ability to provide a unique perspective
• Strong communication skills
• Interest in leadership and stewardship
• Dedication to radical inclusion
• Personal investment in the future of our region and Unitarian Universalism as a faith

The MidAmerica Regional Board of Trustees is responsible for the general direction of the Region, including policies, strategic goals, and priorities. There are nine members serving three-year terms. Three of those nine members include the President, Secretary, and Treasurer, who are elected directly by the Board members annually.

The Nominating Committee’s purpose is to nominate individuals for the Regional Board, the Midwest Unitarian Universalist Conference Board, and the Nominating Committee itself. We are dedicated to seeking qualified candidates to reflect the full diversity of the Region to fulfill these leadership positions, especially in regards to historically marginalized communities. The Nominating Committee has seven members serving two-year terms.

The Midwest Unitarian Universalist Conference (MUUC) furthers the interests of UU’s and their institutions in the Midwest, fosters the interests of the UUA, supports spreading the message of Unitarian Universalism, and distributes the surplus income generated by funds in trust. The MUUC Board of Directors is composed of seven members serving three-year terms.

Our only requirement is that our candidates must be a member of either a MidAmerica Congregation or the Church of the Larger Fellowship. If you or someone you know may be interested, please send your suggestions to the Nominating Committee: MARnominating@uua.org.
