Served as the CMwD Board's Recording Secretary since Fall 2006, when I completed the remaining year of Chip Roush's term in this position.  During that time, I've taken a lead role in reviewing and compiling the Board's policies, and assisting with the crafting of new statements.  This is a high priority, since the Board operates under "policy and mission" principles.  In doing so, I've worked closely on policy implementation with all members of the Board, and particularly with members of the Executive Committee, including our Congregational Service Directors Ian Evison and Dori Davenport-Thexton and Office Administrator Peggy Boccard.  Lastly, I've served as President of the Chicago Area UU Council since April, 2007, and have helped implement our region's successful "Chicagoland Marketing Initiative" through various media.

Sandra Campbell, retired Air Force veteran, retired schoolteacher and full time UU volunteer.  I joined the San Antonio Fellowship in 1986 with my family.  We all enjoyed church school, services and numerous social events.  Our attendance and participation varied throughout the years but I became totally committed to the UU community when I came to Rockford, IL in 1999.  I joined the Rockford church in 2001 and served on the membership and activities committees.  Subsequently, I was asked to be a board member.  I attended CMW leadership school in 2003, became a member of the staff in 2004 thru 2007.  I have served my congregation as a member and chair of numerous committees, board president and search committee member.  I have the highest regard for those who serve the larger UU community at district and association levels.  There is always work to be done and we need everyone involved.  So when I was asked, I humbly offer my time and energy to advance our movement and support our district. 

The last weekend in February 2010 will be in my memories forever as it was the first Winter Woman Spirit Conference I have ever attended as well as being an incredible weekend!  My anticipation and excitement leading up to the weekend was nothing in comparison to the reality I was fortunate enough to have.  This was truly a grand weekend, one of nurturing (which was the theme), one of learning and one of making and building on friendships.

I and my traveling party arrived at First Unitarian Society of Milwaukee Wisconsin, the site of WWS2010, quite early; I was having time change complications.  We were warmly welcomed none-the-less.
