UUA Moderator Gini Courter, who was elected to a second full term at the General Assembly in Salt Lake City June 27, sent the following letter to the UUA's Election-L email list on June 29 expressing her gratitude for the candidates and everyone else who took part in denominational elections this year:
I'm thankful for...
the campaign teams , whose skills and dedication gave the candidates a presence in local congregations that was barely imaginable eight years ago
the supporters, whose contributions of time, money, and love informed and encouraged both candidates
thoughtful UUs who reviewed materials, visited web sites, attended forums, and asked challenging questions
the diligence and care shown by Paul Rickter, Secretary of the Association, while managing the election process
I'm grateful to....
Laurel Hallman and Peter Morales, who shared their visions for our faith broadly and passionately, and who allowed their visions to be shaped and refined by their interactions with us
our congregations, who elected the Reverend Peter Morales to serve as the eighth President of our Association
I promise to continue to...
lead transparently with integrity and passion,
always hold the needs and possibilities of our Association first in my thoughts and actions as Moderator,
work with Peter as we have already begun to work: with collaboration, candor, and joy.
In faith,
Gini Courter, Moderator
Unitarian Universalist Association
