SWUUW and ICUUW Agree to Separate

Monday, 09 November 2009 00:00 |

Written by Gail Tittle |

Southwest UU Women (SWUUW) successfully served as the administrative organization behind the International Convocation of UU Women (ICUUW) that took place last year in lieu of the regular SWUUW conference. There was great energy for the ICUUW, which drew over 600 participants nationally and internationally, to continue as an organization beyond the convocation. Following the convocation, the SWUUW Board held a retreat and continued discussion as how best to go forward in its relationship with ICUUW. It was decided that, while SWUUW supports the ICUUW and wants to see its continued success, there was a desire to continue as a district-level organization. SWUUW Administrator, Laura Nagel, who also served as ICUUW Administrator, has chosen to continue in her role as Administrator/Director of ICUUW and has stepped down from her position as SWUUW Administrator. The UU Partner Church Council (UUPCC) agreed to be the sponsor organization for the ICUUW and assumed grant management for the ICUUW.
