UU Amherst’s Committee on Leadership Development and Nominating promotes our culture of service and engages church members in ways that both deepen their experience and serve our mission. Our teams are stronger when procedures are well-documented and leaders mentor successors.

Throughout the year, the committee offers opportunities to explore church governance, work alongside church leaders and within teams, and develop leadership skills. In late winter/early spring, the committee conducts open recruitment for nominees to fill terms on the Board of Trustees, Endowment Trustees, Leadership Development and Nominating Committee.

Committee members are elected at the Annual Meeting and serve 2 year terms. The current committee members are:

Jackie Senders, Chair Term ends 2024
Linda Gardner Board Liaison
Marlana Rice Term ends 2024
Jacquie Babka Term Ends 2026
Marjorie Buscher Term Ends 2024
Suzanne Christ Term Ends 2026
