Barbara Alexander sees service on the leadership development committee as an opportunity to network, observe, and help develop the strengths and interests of UUC members. She is a long-time member of UUC and has a deep interest in UUC's pastoral care ministry. She is a Co-Chair of the UUCare Team, working closely with Alicia Grace, and welcomes contact from members who have Care concerns. Other involvement has included singing in the loft choir, teaching in the church school, and being a mentor in the Coming-of-Age program. Barbara values UUC for the intellectual stimulation and spiritual growth she experiences as a member.
