Collective Organization

UAS functions as a collective with a non-hierarchical structure. Today there is a core team developing and implementing the programs and services by organizing community volunteers. The core team will be staffed by full and part-time employees. This will evolve as volunteers, businesses and organizations become members and functional teams develop to enhance and expand on existing programs and services and develop additional programs according to the needs of the community. As a collective, decision making is by modified consensus with each functional team represented on the core team.
