 During my four years at Meadville/Lombard Theological School, studying for the ministry beside classmate Laurel Hallman, I knew -- as we all knew -- her rise to the top would be inevitable. I'm only surprised it has taken so long!
From personal knowledge gained in theology school and from the following years of observing Laurel serve the cause of liberal religion, without hesitation I endorse the candidacy of Laurel Hallman for President of the UUA.
With Laurel at the helm, I have no doubt that she, our association and all of our congregations will prosper and flourish in the coming years. I urge you to join us by adding your support for the candidacy of this remarkable woman.

 Laurel has been a gracious colleague, mentor, and role model to me. She brings her whole self to everything she does. She will bring amazing energy, strength, humility, and reality to the UUA. Her leadership comes at a critical time in our movement. I believe Unitarian Universalism is about to become a major influence in a rapidly transforming society. Laurel is the right person at the right time to carry us through these exciting times.
