Job Description: Steering Committee At-Large Member

We are seeking two new At-Large members for Steering Committee. Could that be you?

Steering Committee is the guiding body for C*UUYAN, the Continental Unitarian Universalist Young Adult Network. We are responsible for envisioning and working toward the bigger picture of C*UUYAN’s direction as well as ensuring that the practical work for our next annual meeting is accomplished.  We also oversee the Project Committee, the Young Adult Observer to the UUA’s Board of Trustees, and C*UUYAN’s budget and accounts. We are in relationship with the two Task Forces created at C*UUYAN’s last business meeting (to examine our conferences and potential directions for our community), the UUA’s Young Adult Ministries Office, and other organizations and communities.

Role: SC consists of a Facilitator, a Liaison to the General Assembly Young Adult Caucus, and three At-Large members. At-Large members of SC serve as generalist members of the committee.  All members of the committee contribute equally to decision-making. All members of the committee can and do take on responsibilities for specific aspects of SC work as they feel called and able.

Logistics: Our work is done primarily through conference calls and email. Calls are twice monthly and last no more than an hour.  Email is generally light but will vary depending on the depth and urgency of the work. We also have two in-person meetings per year. The meetings this year have not yet been scheduled (we’re waiting until we have a full roster of members).  All SC members are expected to attend our annual business meeting in the summer of 2010.

Duration: This term will run through August, 2010.  If you would like to continue serving after that, you can run for an additional 2-year term at the C*UUYAN business meeting then.

Eligibility: Candidates must be the age 18 to 35 for the duration of the term.

Compensation: All positions within C*UUYAN are volunteer positions. However, reimbursement will be provided for expenses related to in-person meetings and our annual business meeting.

Deadline for applying: Application deadline is August 24th. Click here to apply.
