Every year at this time, we see UUC Board members coming in, continuing, and departing. As we move through this annual flow it is important to mark these transitions with care and appreciation. This month, this year...

We welcome the three newly elected Board members as they start their service.

• Hugh Kimball
• Sooraj Kuttykrishnan
• Lora Poepping

The four continuing Board continuing members will serve as this coming year's officers.

• Patricia Graesser - Board President
• John Crusius - Vice President
• Jim Thompson - Treasurer
• Paula Nurius - Secretary

Three Board members are bringing a close to their Board service.

• Tim Vos after three years
• Rosemary Daszkiewicz after six years
• Myself, Kathleen Cromp after five years

The Board serves on behalf of you, our UUC community, to advance and live into our mission and vision. To carry out their role most fully, the Board counts on your willingness to engage openly, to be patient, and to trust. As a Board member, you have given me and my colleagues such support for which I am ever grateful. I hope this will continue and extend to this coming year's Board.

Deep thanks to all involved in Board service to UUC—yesterday, today and tomorrow,

Kathleen Cromp

Past President, Board of Trustees
