A special guest will be joining the May Young Adult Leaders Roundtable discussion to ask how our districts can better serve young adults. The 19 districts of the Unitarian Universalist Association are rethinking their role through a task-force of the District Presidents Association. Task force chair Kathy Burek will be on our call on May 17th to hear what YOU have to say as a young adult leader. Plan on joining this is a great opportunity to shape the vision of our faith's leadership, governing bodies and resources for years to come. We will also be hearing from a young adult group in Atlanta, GA who has had a lot of successes in recent years. This will be the start of a monthly "Meet a Young Adult Group" segment on the Roundtable discussion calls that will allow us all to learn more from the sages in our midst.
