At a May 7 meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Unitarian Universalist Association, the board voted to approve a motion that a collection taken up at General Assembly 2015 in Portland, Ore., go toward a pilot program for a scholarship fund to help youth and young adults, people of color, and others from marginalized communities attend future GAs.
The board also voted on a number of UUA committee appointments:
- To the Ministerial Fellowship Committee, which has jurisdiction over all phases of credentialing ministers, it appointed three new members—Michael Lyde, Jan Devon, and Joetta Proust—and approved the UU Ministers Association's nominations to the MFC: the Rev. Jackie Clement, the Rev. Shana Lynngood, the Rev. Gary Smith, and the Rev. Greg Ward.
- To the Appointments Committee, the board appointed Courtney McKenney to replace Tim Atkins. It appointed Kathy Mulvey to replace Kimberly Jackson and Kristin Faust to replace Simon Billenness on the Socially Responsible Investing Committee. It appointed Lucia Santi Field as chair of the Investment Committee, where it also appointed Kathleen Gaffney to replace Carol McMullen, who had served as chair, and David Stewart to replace Kimberly Jackson. It appointed Elizabeth Mount to replace Jackie Clement and Theresa Soto to replace Jonipher Kwong on the Journey Toward Wholeness Transformation Committee.
At its next meeting on May 28, the board will make appointments to the Election Practices Committee, Health Plan Trust, and Retirement Plan Committee.
