Board of Trustees
Email to MSC Candidates 
December 1, 2023

Fellow Members of PBUUC,

Wednesday night the Board of Trustees selected the following members to serve on the Ministerial Search Committee (MSC): Abby Crowley, Eric Eldritch, Don Gerson, Sabrina Jones, Carol Carter Walker and Kathi Yu.

The Board considered the following criteria: 
  • Availability to complete the work outlined in the Board’s charge;
  • Length of membership at PBUUC;
  • Prior experience working on a ministerial search team;
  • PBUUC committees and groups on which the candidates have served;
  • Understanding of the purpose and role of the minister;
  • Strength and skills the candidates would bring to the work; 
  • The fullness of the candidates’ responses: and
  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate on the task.
I will follow-up with the new MSC members concerning how to begin its work.

Thank you so much for your willingness to serve the church in this very important endeavor.
 
All the best!
 Leo
