Susan Hayden
Unity North is poised for continued growth, and I feel a genuine call to support that unfolding at a broader level of service. As Lead for the Welcome Team, I help create spaces of warmth, connection, and first belonging; as a Board member, I would extend that work by nurturing the systems that invite engagement across all ministries—supporting the spiritual journey from first contact, to belonging, to active co-creation of our shared mission. I am retired from a twenty-five-year career with the Federal Government, having served with the Central Intelligence Agency and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Following retirement, I worked as a Governance Administrator for a professional computer society, focusing on Constitutions and Bylaws, serving as de facto Board Secretary, and coordinating three annual Board of Governors meetings.
Ray Hughes
Ray has had for the past 3 years, the privilege to serve his Unity home and family as a member of UNA Board of Directors. He would like his UNA family to allow him to serve for another 3 years. As a member of the Board he and others have been able to successfully build on the efforts of the Board’s predecessors to fulfill the congregation’s direction of maintaining Unity’s home while honoring Rev Richard’s direction of community outreach. Ray is currently the Facilities Chair. He is aware of and deeply involved in the efforts needed to advance Unity North, not just for the next 3 years but for generations to come. Regardless of the outcome of the election, he will always remain grateful to have been allowed to serve.

Larry is a seasoned visionary, spiritual mentor, creative thinker, and unapologetic maverick. His experience spans business, religion, academia, non-profit, and a host of foreign and domestic team-building and leadership development efforts.
His favorite saying is, “Strap in!”, as he loves to engage in thought-provoking conversations to evoke “ah-ha” moments that transcend the informational and welcome the inspirational.
