Annual Meeting & Annual Report

I’ve been attending the congregation since 2001 when my wife Tricia and I went on what we call our “church crawl” following 9-11. After visiting several local churches, we agreed that UUAA was the place for us. In the ensuing 20-plus years, I have served on the Program Council, the Leadership Development Team, and a senior minister’s committee to develop staff job descriptions. I have also helped plan our annual auction for over a decade. I’ve found at UUAA a spiritual home, and a welcoming community.

Outside of the church, I have been involved for many years with the Michigan Daily and other publications at the University of Michigan, serving recently as chair of the University’s Board for Student Publications. In the world of athletics, I have a passing interest in Michigan football (my volunteer fact checker Tricia Mooney suggests, with some merit, that a more accurate description would be that I have a “fanatical obsession with Michigan football”), and play in an adult hockey league. In my professional life, I practice law with a small firm where my work involves bankruptcy, tax and general business counseling.

decisions of his life, where he has formed lasting relationships with various people
and groups. Growing spiritually as a person, with commitment to compassion,
connection, and service. Fostering that sense of commitment, he has had both of
his children involved in educational programs, such as SGD classes and OWL. Over
the past 10 years he has; consistently ushered, actively involved in the Men’s

Laura and Glenn were married in this congregation, where they found community, song, values-in-action, and meaning.

Glenn enjoys bicycling, reading, punning, and volunteering at the League of Women Voters.

KT ((Katherine) Doud was born and raised in Ann Arbor where UUAA played a subtle role, being a cool place she would visit with friends. After college and living for almost a decade in Quito, Ecuador, she decided to move back to A2 to raise her three children with the help of her mother, Susie Thompson. KT says, “When my oldest, at six, asked me to please tell her what I believed in so she could just believe that too, I drove straight to UUAA! I knew I needed a community who would support and encourage all of us to explore and find our own beliefs through service and connection. We’ve been attending since 2009, participating actively since 2013 and I finally signed the membership book in 2022!” KT has been heavily involved in the SGD wing as facilitator for 6th, 7th, and 9th grade as well as YRUU; She also served as a member of the SGD committee.

Bob Dinan and his wife Barb joined UUAA back in 2003, after attending another

They have considered it their spiritual home and beloved community ever since and signed the membership book in 2007. Over the years, Henrike taught SGD classes from Kindergarten to 6th grade, and most recently served on the Board of Trustees (2021-2025). She is committed to working with her fellow UUs and others to do our “little bit of good where we are” and is inspired by the LDT’s mission to foster leadership across the congregation.
