Leadership Experience 2019
A pilot leadership development program for PWR congregations and leaders. A hybrid in-person and online-learning experience, participants will meet for a weekend retreat in one of three locations in January, then follow-up with eight 90-minute videoconference calls by Zoom February through May. Participants will gain a deeper grounding in Unitarian Universalism and will also gain knowledge and skills regarding mission-focused leadership, systems thinking, change management, anti-oppression and multicultural transformation, and conflict transformation as well as other topics.
Pacific Western Region staff encourage our congregations to take a deep interest in each other; to consider best practices together; to model spiritual leadership with one another; and to share their stories of doubt, risk and transformation. By cultivating connections among our congregations, we seek to inspire new and innovative models of doing church and coach existing congregations to a deeper and a wider practice of faith, hope and love.
