Gini Courter's term
as Moderator of the UUA will be up in 2013, and we need to find the best
possible successor. Who do you think should be the next Chair of the UUA's
Board of Trustees? Who is the best person to preside at General
Assembly? Who, using different language, is best qualified to be the
Chief Governance Officer of our Association?
Maybe that person is you. Or maybe you know of someone else who would be
great in the role. In either case, let us know.
We are the Moderator Nominating Committee, appointed by your Board of Trustees
to recommend candidates for this all-important position. We are ready to
receive applications and nominations now. Just go to www.uua.org/uuagovernance. There you'll find a link to our Call for
Nominations and to an electronic application form. Applications and
nominations are due by October 15, 2011.
Based on the Bylaws amendment approved at GA 2010, our committee will submit a
report to the Board of Trustees in late November. The Board will
recommend a candidate or candidates by February 1, 2012, for a single six-year
term beginning at the close of General Assembly 2013.
Does your call to serve our faith include the possibility of service as
Moderator? Do you think you know someone else who might hear that
call? If you are thinking of nominating another, know that you need to
receive that person's consent to be nominated before giving us the name.
We will ask for a complete resume from all applicants and nominees, along with
a list of references, as outlined in the electronic application form.
We look forward to hearing from you.
