JPD Resource People

Compensation Consultants
The JPD Compensation Consultants are charged with promoting the implementation of the compensation guidelines adopted by the General Assembly and the UUA Board of Trustees.  The consultants work in educating congregations and promoting the UUA’s compensation guidelines.  The Compensation Consultants meet with all search committees and Boards to assist them in developing fair compensation packages for newly hired or settled professional staff.

Both JPD Compensation Consultants are former Human Resources professionals and are also available to assist congregations with personnel problems and policies.

JPD Facilitators Program
A team of trained facilitators, many of whom work professionally in the fields of teambuilding and problem solving, provide services to JPD congregations for board, committee and congregational retreats and meetings.  Many participants have written about how helpful it was to have a facilitated retreat when a new Board of Trustees or Search Committee is beginning to work.  The facilitator program is supported by the JPD and costs are very reasonable to a congregation.  To schedule a facilitator, contact the Director for Adjunct Staff Program or the JPD office. 

There's also a new Internet Consultancy to focus on Effective Web-sites. flier (doc)

Ministerial Settlement Representatives
The Ministerial Settlement Representatives are trained by the UUA Department of Ministry to assist congregations in their search for full-time and settled ministers.  They advise search committees on the process and educate congregations on how to conduct a successful search.
