UA GSB Releases 4 Announcements

In a Quorum Vote Taken on June 5, 2025, the Group Conscience of the UA GSB Voted to Release These 4 Announcements:

1. Invitation to Observe the First-Ever Public GSB Group Inventory

Dear Members of the Underearners Anonymous Fellowship,

In the spirit of transparency, humility, and service, the General Service Board (GSB) of Underearners Anonymous warmly invites all UA members on Sunday July 27th, at 3 PM Eastern Time at the GSB monthly public meeting zoom location (Immediately following required brief business reports) to observe the first-ever UA GSB Public Group Inventory—an open reflection process involving current and former Trustees of the GSB who have chosen to participate.

This Group Inventory continues the “house cleaning” the current Board has committed to, as part of our ongoing effort to uphold the spiritual principles embodied in the Twelve Steps, Twelve Traditions, Twelve Concepts for World Service, and the Bylaws of UA.

Why This Inventory?

Concept Nine reminds us that:

“Good service leadership at all levels is indispensable for our future functioning and safety,” and that such leadership ought to be “based on spiritual principles.” Our intention is to create a space for rigorous honesty, accountability, and healing among those who have held trusted servant roles on the GSB.

By opening this process to the Fellowship as silent observers, we aim to:

• Restore trust
• Strengthen unity
• Model the kind of fearless moral inventory foundational to our recovery

What to Expect

• This will be a closed-sharing environment for current and past GSB Trustees
  only.
• All other attendees are invited to witness silently.
• The session will be moderated by a neutral Program member with strong
  recovery and will follow a structured format.
• The process will last approximately 90 minutes.
• Anonymity and safety are paramount.

In the spirit of Tradition Twelve—“placing principles before personalities”—we ask all participants to refrain from gossip, judgment, or using anything shared in this space to harm or discredit others.

What is said in the room, stays in the room.

This is a spiritual undertaking rooted in our common welfare and shared responsibility.

We invite you to hold space with us—not to critique or fix—but to witness the work of trusted servants seeking clarity, integrity, and group conscience.

2. New Trustee Search is On

We are actively seeking candidates for service as UA GSB Class A & B Trustees. We are looking for trustee candidates who prioritize their own UA recovery and have worked the 12 Steps of UA with a UA sponsor.

The applicant should be able to hear others’ points of view, be willing to voice their own perspective, and be willing to put their own opinion aside in service of the group conscience.

At the present time we are particularly looking for a Trustee Secretary and a Trustee Treasurer. We are seeking up to five additional Class A trustees (UA-Members) and up to four Class B Trustees (non-UA members), as per the UA Bylaws.

We wish to include a variety of trustees from all regions to represent our diverse fellowship, including international regions.

3. Transparency on Topics of Consideration Procedure

In order to ensure a clear, transparent, and accurate representation of the Topics of Consideration, the UA GSB passed a motion to make the following announcement:

During their business meetings the GSRs collected the priorities of their individual groups for the UA GSB Topics of Consideration Survey (closed on May 1, 2025).

Each GSR received an email confirming that the GSB accurately received their group’s topics.

Individual UA members can ask their GSR to see this confirmation email.

4. Working to Let the Fellowship Speak Through Group Conscience

Our trusted UA GSRs indicated through the Topics of Consideration Survey that discussion of reunification is the highest priority topic to address at the World Service Conference among the UA listed groups that responded.

As a result of learning of the priority topics of the participating groups, the UA GSB passed a motion to, for now, start by acknowledging that communications from the other underearner’s non-profit service body have been received by the GSB.

Next steps will be determined by a combination of further guidance from the fellowship as well as legal guidance about what is legally possible given the GSB Trustees’ legal and fiduciary responsibilities.

We intend to follow the desires of the fellowship to the fullest extent legally possible. Clarity on both will come after a 4th step/inventory process within the GSB.

Cleaning our own house will help us be of greatest service as your trusted servants.

Thank you for your patience. We will keep you updated and involved in shaping the ultimate direction of our fellowship.

In service and gratitude,
The General Service Board
Underearners Anonymous
