Job Description
(approved by the Board on 4/25/24)
Rationale: The Vice-President fulfills the role of the President when that person is not available and assumes additional responsibilities as outlined below.
Expectations:
- The VP serves as liaison to the annual UUA General Assembly, and should plan to attend GA (UURMaPA covers expenses). They participate in the following events that involve UURMaPA:
- The VP attends the Service of the Living Tradition (SoLT) to sit with survivors of members who are honored.
- The VP attends the Survivor’s Luncheon following the SoLT.
- The VP takes a lead role in proposing and implementing any workshops offered by UURMaPA during Ministry Days and/or the program segment of GA.
- If approved by the Board, the VP makes arrangements for a UURMaPA member luncheon that gathers members and hosts and welcomes new retirees and partners. [Note: In recent years, this event has proven prohibitively expensive, especially since it involves a relatively small number of new members who attend GA in person.]
- The VP oversees the selection of a welcome gift for new members (ministers and partners) and the distribution of these gifts in May or June each year.
- The VP selects and chairs a sub-group of at least three volunteers to choose a recipient for the annual Creative Sageing Award, to be presented at the Fall Conference. The VP writes the citation for the presentation, which is also edited for publication in Elderberries.
- The VP attends monthly Board meetings and may undertake other tasks as they present themselves.
