At the conclusion of the training, participants will have a new community of peers, stronger and more confident leadership abilities and a stable foundation for sustainable leadership in Unitarian Universalist congregations and other Unitarian Universalist communities and organizations.All accepted participants will receive full travel, housing accommodations and food for their paid registration. The registration fee for the MLS is $200. The cost of the conference should not stop anyone from applying!
