Greetings from the Leadership Development Team! The LDT Mission is: To identify and develop current and future leaders of the congregation, in collaboration with the Senior Minister and Board, through identifying, recruiting, cultivating and training a diverse group of individuals. At the urging of the board the LDT has spent a good part of the last year considering a new approach to developing leaders that will work well in a large congregation using policy governance and offers participants opportunities for personal and spiritual growth.

Our initial major initiative is the Leading with Love program, which will run for nine months meeting twice a month. Please take a look at the material to see if the LWL is something you might be interested in!

Sincerely,
The Leadership Development Team

Our Inaugural Leading with Love Program

We are excited to announce the inaugural activity of the Leadership Development Team--The Leading with Love program. This represents a new way of considering leadership here at 1st UU. The LDT is looking to cultivate a cadre of potential leaders who will see needs of the church and the community as opportunities for spiritual growth while making an impact on something of importance to them.

The class will be facilitated by two UU organizational psychologists (Bruce Gibbs and Ann Jones) who are volunteering their time, because this program is something they are passionate about. The class size is limited. A diverse group of twelve to eighteen individuals will be selected based on their application, willingness to commit to active participation during the 14 bi-monthly sessions and out-of-class assignments and contributing to the future of our beloved Community. Please take a look at the documents below to see if this is of interest.
