Board of Directors
Ann Backer
My goal is to work toward making UUFH a dynamic and nurturing religious community that celebrates our diversity, supports spiritual growth and works for social justice in the larger community.
My interests involve education, humane treatment of animals and painting. I am a retired teacher, a volunteer with the Humane Society and a member of the Artist League of Henderson County.
Unitarian Universalism has enabled me to expand my horizons in many areas including the spiritual, areas of social justice and awareness in the arts and sciences.

The Vice President serves a 3 year Board of Directors term, first as VP, then as President, and finally as Past President.

Pat Wakeley
How does your position express or serve the mission of UUFH?
The President presides at Board meetings and is an ex officio member of most committees. This sounds very left-brain and linear, but I also work holistically to create a climate in which we move together toward fulfilling our mission. This part of my work is a great privilege and responsibility—and often difficult. The mission statement serves as a roadmap by which my daily work is guided.
