twice yearly elections, think about our congregational life, engage in constructive
dialogue, and step forward to vote.
Between the elections, members and friends work in leadership roles,
serve on committees, and carry out our common visions. We create each day and ensure the
continuation of our Unitarian Universalist traditions through our service in community.

Assembly. We will elect members to these positions of leadership at our April

these positions. Debra Bennett: Chair, David Rovner, Hari Kern, Judith Rowell-DeVaney,
