Board of Trustees - Elected Leaders of the Congregation
Bob Daniel-Wayman: President
President

Bob Daniel-Wayman Term expires: June 2022 As a congregation and a denomination we have always embraced growth and change in how we think about church and worship. I can’t think of a time in my 35 years as a UU that this was not more important than now. With that in mind we, the board, will be looking at how we should adjust our organization and ourselves around our new circumstances. I certainly do not expect this to result in radical change, that has never really been our way at UCH, but I do think we need to adapt and change. Please feel free to reach out and share your ideas, concerns, hopes and dreams with me and/or the other board members. We need everyone’s creativity and insight to find the right answers. Whatever we do it will be inclusive and transparent. |

I’ve been a member of UCH for nearly 20 years and was raised as a UU in a small (and often under-funded!) church in NY. My recent experience serving on the Ministerial Search Committee helped to deepen my commitment to our church and its future. I love the RE program at UCH and enjoy being on the RE Committee, a volunteer teacher and Coming of Age mentor. My husband, Tim, and I have three adult daughters who grew up in the church. I’m looking forward to this new opportunity to support this community by serving on the Board.

Recently retired from in-house attorney position with Exelon (ComEd) and previously with Ameritech. Originally from Detroit. Raised Catholic but “ran away” (i.e., did not “fall away”) after the light went on in college. (“In Humanae Vitae” helped a great deal in that regard.) Began regularly attending services at UCH about 20 years ago, after several years of coming for the “ritual” at Christmas. Taught RE (K-1, Haunting House) periodically for a number of years. My first students are now well past college age. Live in Western Springs with long-time spouse, Janelle. Adult kids – Daniel, David, and Sarah – are all RE alums.
