To model respectful communication and avoid future misunderstandings, NAUA Board Trustees felt it was important to create, adopt and affirm a code of conduct moving forward. Thank you to trustee Jan Anderson for creating the initial draft, which was slightly modified and adopted by the full board.
Trustees present at the closed December 17th board meeting affirmed adherence to these ideals and pledged to hold themselves and each other accountable. Members are encouraged to read these guidelines and adopt them in their own internal communications, in order to model our respect for the inherent dignity of all individuals and all peoples. These guidelines also reflect the importance we place on our values of freedom, reason and tolerance.
The board pledges to review the Code of Conduct annually and update as necessary. Future trustees will be asked to affirm the code upon joining the board.

One of the key priorities of the NAUA Board of Trustees this year has been the creation of a Three-Year Strategic Plan for our fledgling organization. The now completed plan outlines goals and objectives, along with tentative deadlines, for ensuring long-term growth, meaningful community outreach and mission fulfillment:
Mission: NAUA is a member service organization dedicated to supporting and promoting the practice of liberal religion by embracing freedom, reason, and tolerance—rooted in our commitment to the inherent worth and dignity of every person and all peoples.
The Strategic Plan will be reviewed and discussed during a special session of the upcoming NAUA 2nd Annual Summit. All NAUA members and friends are encouraged to register and attend the Summit. The Strategic Plan will also be shared with all NAUA committees, who will be charged with designing and carrying out action plans to achieve relevant goals and objectives. This will ensure that by the Summit 2028 we will have increased our membership, resources and outreach in ways that position us to better fulfill our ambitious mission of advancing liberal religion.
If you have comments or suggestions related to the strategic plan or would like to play a key role in achieving any of the outlined objectives, please email secretary@naunitarians.org.
