Rev. Kathy Zavada
I am so grateful that this vision for a spiritual community in Ashland is so appreciated and that I have the opportunity to work with these wonderful, dedicated board members supporting this vision and our community.
Patti Browning
I have never wanted to sit on a board before although asked on several occasions. So, I’m surprised to discover my utter delight at being included in this circle. My early training in the fine arts expanded to include all aspects of my life. I delight in finding beauty in the most unlikely and broken places and sharing my discoveries with others while listening to theirs. Communication and co-creation with nature — the creative life force — is my vision.
Peg Turton
It is a great honor to be part of creating this ever-expanding community. I've been a spiritual seeker all my life and believe that all traditions lead to the same creative source. Previously, I served as the Board Secretary and Angel Team Coordinator (volunteers) at Unity at the Lake in South Lake Tahoe. I am blessed to live in Nehalem on the Northern Oregon Coast.
Robert Auerbach
I recently retired from my 40-year career with the family's business and moved to Jacksonville, Oregon with my wife and dogs. Walking into the doors at Unity Community of Ashland, my wife and I knew immediately that this community was what we had prayed for, and I am honored to participate on the board.
Joy Elohim
I was honored to be asked to be on the UCOA Board. This is my first experience of being on a Board. I'm grateful to be in a position to assist the UCOA community to continually grow, expand and evolve. I'm an IFS Practitioner and love helping people to access and embody their innate wisdom and freedom.
Charlene Conley
I am honored to be on the Board of UCOA. I have attended Unity Churches since 1980, first at Christ Unity Church in Sacramento and then Unity of Auburn in Auburn, CA. I met Kathy about 30 years ago when she did a concert at Unity of Auburn. She has been a very important part of my Spiritual journey. I have held most board positions and am excited to be a part of this board. I am semi-retired from my psychotherapy practice of 41 years and will soon be a resident of Ashland.
