The mission of UUSJ is to advance equitable national policies and actions
 – aligned with UU values –
through engagement, education, & advocacy

Progressive people of faith can be a powerful political force, and UUSJ is focused on raising the voice of Unitarian Universalism in the halls of power in the United States. UUSJ is seeking new Board members to help us grow our organization and strengthen our ability to ensure our values of justice, equity, and compassion are front and center with our legislators and national policymakers. We continue the staggered term transition that began when we reorganized our board for national composition.

The UUSJ Nominating Committee is soliciting applications for nomination and election to the Board of Trustees from any current or prospective individual member of UUSJ. Nominees need not be current members of UUSJ but are expected to join if elected (dues are modest).

We are searching for up to five candidates to join the Board as of July 1, 2023. Applications are due April 23, 2023.

• The Nominating Committee and current Board are interested in persons reflecting the diversity of the UU justice-making experience.

• Members of the UUSJ Board of Trustees may serve up to two terms of three years each before leaving the Board for two years.

• The terms of the eleven-member Board are staggered, with several Trustees elected in each of three “classes” to allow for continuity. 

Anyone interested in serving on the Board should contact Chloe Emily Ockey, Nominating Committee Chair (nomination@uusj.org).
