Janine Larsen, Acting Administrator

We are pleased to announce the selection of our Congregational Engagement Coordinator, who will start July 1. 

Morgan Sherwood (she/her) is a lifelong UU who grew up at the Boulder Valley UU Fellowship in Lafayette, Colorado. In high school she fell in love with the UU community she found at Cons (youth conferences) and camps and was very active in youth leadership. Morgan recently graduated from Whitman College with a degree in Environmental Studies-Biology.

At Whitman, Morgan served as an Inclusion Fellow in the Office of Religious and Spiritual Life and spent three semesters taking and teaching classes inside the Washington State Penitentiary. Morgan is thrilled to be embarking on this new journey with UUC!

The Congregational Engagement Coordinator is a new position at UUC, which will: 

• Provide front office presence and direct response to inquiries including meeting scheduling;
• Coordinate volunteer teams who support general office reception and database tasks;
• Manage and promote use of our relational database, UUC Connect;
• Support Connections and Sunday Welcoming Teams;
• Work closely with our Communications Coordinator, Susan St. John, and our incoming Associate Minister in carrying out our website, social media, and onsite communications strategies.

Thank you to the Interview Team for this position—Leslie Robinson, Lora Poepping, Stacy Carlson, and Cynthia Setel—who interviewed 8 candidates (screened from 21 applicants) offering a variety of strengths and diversities. 

We're looking forward to introducing Morgan to the congregation and arranging opportunities for her to get to know our Sunday Welcoming Team Leads and volunteers, and our Connections Team. Morgan is also looking forward to meeting other Young Adults at UUC and planning some activities together over the next program year.
