A Message from Denise Rimes, President,
Southeast District of the UUA:
Dear Congregational Leaders,
I
am in touch to urge you and other leaders in your congregations to
attend
and participate in one of the two upcoming webinars hosted by UUA staff
members that are listed below. These webinars will provide a brief
overview of regionalization efforts across the Unitarian Universalist
Association and the Southern Region, of which the
Southeast District and your congregation is a part.
Regionalization
is an effort to be better stewards of time, money and resources.
It is well underway. Our covenant of support and care calls
congregations to be in deep relationship with one another. This support
and care includes financial support for our Association of
congregations. There has been deep dialogue about how to fund needed
programs and staffing for those programs in a more covenantal way. As
part of regionalization efforts, The Southern Region (Mid-South
District, Florida District, Southeastern District and Southwest UUC) is
participating in a pilot program to change how the
annual ask for our Unitarian Universalist Association and district
funding occurs. This topic is the spotlight theme of the webinars I
urge you to attend, as this program will develop over the next two
fiscal years. Your voices are needed, your concerns should
be shared and your participation will help to develop the program.
Feel
free to contact me or the UUA Staff Members I've listed below for
additional
conversation about the new funding approach or to further discuss
regionalization. It is important that we have access to each other
during changing times; we'll find a way to be with you to share what's
happening, answer your questions and address your concerns.
Let us know how things look from your perspective!
Thank you for being among the leaders of our faith to move it forward.
In faith,
Denise Rimes
Southeast District, President
