Meet Our Leaders

UCH Board of Directors

United Church Homes grew up alongside the United Church of Christ. This faith tradition informs our volunteer board of directors as they set policies, oversee operations and guide our operation’s distinguished service to older adults. The board meets quarterly to conduct business and plan the organization’s future. UCH is fortunate to draw on the varied backgrounds and distinguished careers reflected in the board membership.
