Our Board of Directors
| Board of Trustees Biographies |

| Rose Prestipino, President I approach this opportunity with enthusiasm and humility. My desire is to fill the role adequately and with zest. My UU experience began by joining the UU Congregation of Rockland County (NY) as a UU newbie and then later was elected president. About 5 years ago. I served on the OUUF Board as trustee. As a professional educator, I taught music education and special education for 15 years before moving into school administration for another 15 years. This work included special education and prison education administrator. I concluded my career as the NM State Director of Inmate Instruction. At OUUF, I have chaired the Landscape Team and led the charge to create the Friendship Garden. The OUUF community inspires me, and I would like to be an active participant. I believe in our principles and salute our successes. |
| Patty Eaton, Vice President I am honored to serve in this role and help foster the mission of the Fellowship and our Unitarian Universalist principles. I was previously a member of the First Unitarian Church of Berkeley, First Parish of Lexington, the First Unitarian Church of San Jose, and served as director of religious education at the Unitarian Universalist Area Church of Sherborn, Massachusetts. I have taught adult, children, and youth religion classes, and here at the Fellowship have volunteered on the tech team and as a trash collector on River Road. I believe that love is the solution to most of our problems and “We do not need to think alike to love alike,” (attributed to Francis, David, the founder of the Unitarian Church of Transylvania). |
| Greg Sensiba, Finance Director Raised as a Unitarian, Greg graduated from high school in El Paso, TX and was nominated to attend the US Air Force Academy. After graduation in 1973 with a BS in Computer Science, he attended navigator school and was fortunate to graduate high enough in his class to select an assignment in the C-5A Galaxy at Travis AFB, CA. A few years later, he was assigned to Air Force Studies and Analysis at the Pentagon. During this time, his mother introduced him to a friend and co-worker, Vicki Shaw, and they were married in 1980. His next assignment was to Rhein-Main Air Base in Germany. During this assignment, he earned a Master’s Degree in Business Administration (MBA) from Boston University. After an assignment to Scott AFB, IL, he retired from the Air Force with 20 years of service and began to follow his wife on her assignments. His post-AF work was in computers–either programming or analyzing requirements for other programmers. He retired in 2014 and moved to Sequim. While a member of OUUF, he was in the choir, has served as a member-at-large on the Board, overseen the installation of the driveway from Barr Rd., and helped with the Little Free Pantry including construction on the Florence and Michael Bucierka Social Justice Building. |
| Dianne Whitaker, Assistant Treasurer I live in Sequim with Tux, my cat. I have been a member of OUUF for over 20 years. I have previously served on the board of trustees as Secretary, Vice President and President. I am a member of several of our OUUF committees, including the Caring Committee, the Membership Committee, the Sunday Services Committee, and the Tech Committee. I am a stocker and the scheduler for our Little Free Pantry. I am a proud member of OUUF and guilty of proselytizing about us at times. |
