Welcome to the Association of Unitarian Universalist Administrators (AUUA) website. We are a network of approximately 340 UU administrators serving many different sized congregations and some regional offices across the U.S. and Canada. Our mission is to support and strengthen Unitarian Universalism through effective administration.
If you are a UU administrator but not yet a member of the AUUA, we invite you to join. Our dues are very reasonable considering the benefits of membership, which include a vibrant listserv and Facebook group through which members pose questions they encounter in their work and others share their experience, providing best practices discovered through their experience. We also provide professional development workshops on topics such as Human Resources and Management Skills, Self Care, Book Discussion Groups, Soul Matters Groups, and many others. We have a resource library with many templates for job descriptions, policies, forms and other useful information. In June each year the AUUA offers a professional development program (ProDays), which provides up to date information on current issues facing administrators and also an opportunity for networking and building relationships. Perhaps most importantly, by becoming a member of the AUUA, you join a community of people in similar jobs who will support and encourage you. To join, just click on the Join tab on the homepage.
If you are not a UU administrator and have come to our website for a different reason, we hope the information you find here will be useful to you. If you have questions, please contact me at Karena@firstparishbrewster.org and make sure to put AUUA in the subject line.
Thank you for visiting our website and for your interest in our organization.
In faith,
Karena Stroh
AUUA President
