We are looking for two new members. If you are interested, we ask that you contact any of us or the UUA Board’s Committee on Committees. This is an appointed committee, so you may be asked to fill out an application and not everyone who volunteers will become a committee member, but if you are interested we want to know.

We are especially interested in people with a deep understanding of anti-racism, anti-oppression, and multicultural work and its challenges; who are “team players” with collaborative work styles; who have skills in information technology and/or statistics and analysis; and/or who have experience in Religious Education.

Let us know if you are interested!

In their interim report to the UUA board of trustees in January 2006… the commission members shared both accounts in “The Elevator Story: A Metaphor,” which they offered for reflection on the complexities of racism and ageism. –The editors
