With the start of a new ministry with Rev. Shawn Gautier this is an auspicious time in our history and in the governance of our community.
The opportunity to serve on the board of directors at such a moment is a special privilege and a special responsibility. With other directors, with Shawn and with our staff we have exceedingly capable people with whom you will be working.
It will take your time and it will take your energy. But what an opportunity to be part of history in forging this next chapter in the life of the Unitarian community in Vancouver.
Consider it. Urge your friends in the membership to consider it. The work will be rewarding and there will be the mirth and merriment of working with splendid people.
Please do contact Michael Clague, Nominations committee (mclague[at]telus[dot]net) or Mairy Beam, our President (mairyelesbeam[at]gmail[dot]com).
