Recently retired from teaching, Marta graciously stepped in to fill a term and already shares her educational background, community experience and enthusiasm by reviewing Governance Policy videos, asking thoughtful questions, and considering all points of view. She and husband, Steve, raised their girls in the UU tradition and enjoy having them in town. As her photos reveal she is active, compassionate, and has a great laugh!

A longtime member of Peoples, Charlie is the “go-to” guy for small building needs and is currently pledge treasurer. He enjoys math and science for real world projects and loves outdoor activities. His wife, Judy, keeps track on the finance committee.  In his governance style, he recognizes the need to help the church proceed toward the long-term goals of financial and community sustainability.

A woman of few words, Erin identifies as a chemist, crocheter, and mom of two wonderful girls. She and husband, Doug, take in adventures as they share values with their children. She is busy at board meetings carefully noting discussion items and actions. Periodically, she pauses from note taking to insert poignant comments on Policy Governance.
