We’re happy to announce that The Unitarian Universalist Association is partnering with The Management Center to provide practical, interculturally informed management skills training designed for UU religious professionals who supervise in congregations.

The Management Center will lead two separate two-day online Managing to Change the World trainings, facilitated by JK Nelson. We have space for 40 people in each session, and we’d like to invite you and your colleagues to apply!

• Session One: Thursday, January 19 – Friday, January 20, 2023
• Session Two: Monday, February 6 - Tuesday, February 7, 2023

All sessions will be held from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm Pacific / 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm Eastern

Registration Fee:

• $400 for those with professional development budgets
• $200 for those who don’t have professional development budgets (and may have to find the money in other budget lines)
• Full waivers available on request

The training will consist of group activities, role-plays, PowerPoint presentation, individual and small group work, and group discussion. Participants will have time to apply, practice and translate the tools to their specific work contexts, and get input on core challenges from the trainer and their peers.

You should apply if:

• You directly supervise staff in a UU congregation or related organization
• You’re eager to learn new tools, frameworks, and practices to support your management
• You’re open to thinking critically and newly about your individual and organizational practices on managing with an equity and inclusion lens
• You are committed to an ethos of shared ministry

We’ll review applications and notify applicants of selection on a first-come, first-served basis.Due to space limitations, we can’t guarantee that everyone who applies will be accepted, but we’ll do our best!
