Locally Hosted Events
In addition to offering keynotes and programming for major Unitarian Universalist conferences and professional organizations, I also organize events with local UU host congregations. How does this work? So glad you asked!
A local congregation contacts me with their interest. I determine if there are enough UUs in the area to support the training — my events tend to draw from multiple states — and if yes, we collaborate on the event. I take care of registration, online promotion, and the actual training content. The host congregations takes care of hospitality in exchange for their team attending. Using this model, there is no speaking fee. Some congregations will opt to give me a speaker fee and handle registration. Have other ideas for how we can collaborate on an event? Let’s talk!
Guest Preaching
I have been a regular speaker at congregations in New England, especially the Greater Boston area. I preach nationally in conjunction with other scheduled events. Read More.
