More About UUA Regions
Our Unitarian Universalist congregations are organized into regions. Each region approaches congregational collaboration and identity differently. Some regions have districts with distinct governing boards, others retain their district identities but have transferred governance to our UUA Board, and still others have let go of districts and focus on simple on one single regional identity.
Each region is served by a Regional Lead and a team of Congregational Life Staff. These staff provide a wide variety of congregational services.
All of the Regions and the Congregational Life Staff are led by the Director of Congregational Life, Jessica York.
