The 2021 Board with our 2021 Professional Day Contributors
Professional Support
Central to LREDA's mission is active support and advocacy for religious educators. Ongoing advocacy and relationship building is inherent in the work of the Board and a lens through which all governance concerns itself. Contact Lauren, LREDA's current Professional Support portfolio holder for more information.
New! LREDA CARES Fund
We now have a CARES Fund to be used for non professional support for our membership, funded from our capital reserves. On a case by case basis, the CARES Fund can be used for reduced rates for dues or personal/health support and may not exceed $500 per case. Please reach out by email to any LREDA Board member if you are in need.
Support is also available from the Living Tradition Fund of the UUA. They can provide emergency assistance grants to religious professionals and their loved ones.
