Leslie Wood – President

Leslie is in her fourth year on the JUUF Board and is honored to be serving as the President. She’s very excited about the increased vibrancy at JUUF, especially seeing the community “bounce back” from the pandemic years. She loves sewing, singing, playing piano, and forest bathing. She lives with her wife, Jean, and their Havanese/Pomeranian mix pooch, Lewie.  

Jetta Whittaker – Secretary

Jetta Whittaker has been a member of JUUF for 30 years, and has worn nearly every hat during this time.  Now retired from public service, she spends her time volunteering as a reader buddy and helping out with the food pantry. 

Martha Murray – Treasurer

Martha is learning to be treasurer as she serves another term on the JUUF board. Supposedly retired from being the manager of a family practice clinic, she volunteers at the food pantry and the local soup kitchen. Plus she spends as much time as possible playing marimba and has deep gratitude to be in this place with this community.

Hali Denton – Board Member

Hali has been a member of the board since 2025. She is a nearly life-long Juneauite, poet, dabbler in other arts, seeker of a new and better path. Also coffee-loving crazy cat-lady, believer in truth, kindness and compassion.

Pat McLear – Board Member

Since experiencing an “NPR Driveway moment” in 1996 when the UUA president was being interviewed, Pat has thought of 
herself as a UU. Her time and talents for the Fellowship are spent in being involved with planning services. Pat is very grateful
for the opportunities worship provides to explore “a free and responsible search for truth and meaning” in community.
