We are delighted to announce Scott Montgomery (she/her) as our new Community and Connection Manager — the now half-time evolution of the Membership Coordinator role which Irene Kirschenbaum has so effectively carried out for two years.

This coming Sunday the 16th will be Scott’s first service with us. Irene will be with us through the end of June, which will give time to onboard Scott — and to celebrate and say a big thanks to Irene!

Scott was born and raised in Memphis, TN. She met her husband at Dartmouth College, and together they lived in Boston, New York, Singapore, and London before settling in Washington, DC where their two sons were born. She gleefully moved to Boulder in 2017 along with her family.

Scott thinks her title, Community and Connection Manager at UUCB, sums up her favorite skillset and one that she’s been honing both professionally and personally as a lifelong volunteer. Her professional experience includes working for non-profits in development, with Au Pairs as a community counselor, and as an administrative and admissions director for a Montessori pre-school. She also does freelance writing and editing for small businesses. She has taught Sunday School in the Episcopal Church and has been a room parent for every grade from Kindergarten through Eighth. She is the Committee Chair for Troop 72 and the proud mother of an Eagle Scout.

Scott loves spending time outdoors hiking, skiing, gardening, and walking her dachshund, Felix, and her mystery mix, Alfie. As an Episcopalian who attends Quaker meeting on occasion, she is excited to dive into the Unitarian Universalist Church community and support the congregation in building sincere connections, strengthening authentic community, and welcoming newcomers.

Special thanks to the hiring team: Barb Richards, Laurie Mazzola, Chris Zanoni, and Cathy Edwards were joined by our religious education director Rachel and Rev. David.
