| What is this all about? |
| |
| Unitarian Universalist Leadership
Team Institute (UULTI) has been designed to highlight the values and
stories of our faith and our commitment to justice for all peoples.
We will ask all in attendance to explore how their own faith and
actions inform and deepen their individual leadership, their work in
growing their congregations and communities, their justice-making
and outreach efforts and their commitment to families and children
and to a multi-cultural world of Beloved Community. |
| |
| Individuals and teams will
experience and be transformed by a 21st-century, 6 day residential
program for leaders wishing to strengthen their team and leadership
skills in order to make a real impact in their UU congregations and
communities. |
| |
| The Institute will be a holistic and
experiential learning environment. Participants will explore
Unitarian Universalism on spiritual, intellectual, personal and
practical levels. You will acquire skills to build and strengthen
your congregation and community, as well as bring you more success
in life. |
| |
| Since leadership challenges and
opportunities rarely present themselves in neat little packages, the
staff has created an integrated experience that will allow you to: |
| |
- focus on a particular area of
concentration (TRACKS)
- gain knowledge about specific
leadership elements and perspectives (LENSES) that will
be woven throughout the TRACKS and/or program
- learn deeply from one another by
meeting in Covenant Groups, Home Teams and Roles Teams,
as well as at meals, worship, vespers and social time
- work with a Home Team coach exchange ideas and insight with others in the same or similar
roles as the one you currently occupy
|

| Who Should Attend? |
| |
| Any combination of lay leaders,
board chairs/presidents, clergy, directors and ministers of
religious education, committee chairs, growth teams, leadership
development teams, etc. and/or individuals whose congregations have
designated them for leadership, now or in the future, who wish to
strengthen their team and leadership skills. |
| |
| Why Teams? It takes a team of
leaders for change to happen. (Note: If you are the only leader
attending from your congregation or community, we will create a Team
for you to meet and work with throughout the week). |
| |
| All participants should be
recognized as leaders by their UU congregations and communities and
be attending with their knowledge and encouragement. |
| |
| ALL sizes of congregations, small,
medium and large, and other UU communities and organizations will
benefit from this program. |
| |

of backgrounds, education and geographical locations (and senses of
humor). |
