Interim Training for Program Professionals

Twice a year, the UUA Office of Church Staff Finances offers a six-week, online Interim Training for Religious Professionals.

Staff will find this training useful if:

• They are serving, or preparing to serve, in an interim capacity
• They are, or will be, working with an interim minister
• They want to look at their current work and context with fresh eyes, especially during times of change

Interim Training:

• Introduces a variety of leadership and change models
• Equips staff in the essential areas of congregational systems and staff relations
• Grounds staff in the tasks of the interim process
• Provide practical tools and resources for interim work

For more information:

The next training begins in late February, with an application deadline of February 10, 2017. For more information or to apply, contact Jan Gartner, Compensation and Staffing Practices Manager, comp@uua.org. (While much of the content is similar, please note that this program is separate from the training offered through the Transitions Office for clergy entering interim ministry.)
