From the Board of Trustees – Can We Talk?

Can We Talk?

Do you remember Joan Rivers, the comic many of us grew up watching on the Tonight Show?  As part of her schtick she often used the phrase, “Can We Talk?”  Audiences expected to hear it from her each time she performed even to the extent that they would shout it at her.

Now, your Board of Trustees wants to ask, “Can We Talk?”  In fact, the Board wants to hear from you so much that it made “Continual Communication” with the membership one of its primary goals for 2017-18.  The Board especially wants to know what you enjoy about your UCE experience, what you are less excited about, and what you would suggest the Board think about as they plan for the future.  It wants to know your thoughts about UCE and its involvement in our community, our denomination, in our world.

Already there are opportunities for you to share your thoughts and more are planned for the future.  Trustee and Board of Trustee Vice-President Jeanne Kerl has conducted and is planning additional “Chat with the Board” sessions that will give you an opportunity to speak with a Board member.  Participation in the upcoming “Powerful Question” sessions will present you the opportunity to answer questions such as “What kind of a church are we?” and “What should we be?”

The Board hopes you will seize the opportunity to share what you think.  UCE has a strong history and a bright future.  With your participation, the future will shine even more brightly.
