Welcome to the UUMA website!
The mission of the UUMA is to nurture excellence in ministry through collegiality, continuing education, and collaboration. We seek to be a primary resource for continuing education for our members, offering opportunities for seminars, workshops, mentoring and coaching. The UUMA promotes multiple models of collegiality, offering spaces for our members to gather in covenant that are shaped by a culture of vulnerability, intimacy, trust and accountability to one another. We seek to be a leader in guiding Unitarian Universalism in the work of anti-racism, anti-oppression and multiculturalism, and to collaborate and partner with other UU organizations to realize a shared vision for excellence in ministry.
