This election year there is a single candidate for UUA President, the Rev. Dr. Sofía Betancourt. Minister, educator, scholar, vocalist, poet, fiber artist and change-maker, Rev. Dr. Betancourt has served Unitarian Universalism for more than twenty years in a wide range of volunteer and professional roles. Her work in the world and practice of Unitarian Universalism are informed by the belief that building mutual, accountable relationships with one another allows us to live our values more fully every day.
