Southeast District

Southeast District of the UUA Staff

The District Executive and the Director of Faith Development are co-employed by the Southeast District and the UUA. The District Administrator is an employee of the Southeast District. We are very fortunate to have three highly competent and committed staff members.

Annette Marquis, District Executive
Annette became District Executive for the Southeast District in April 2006. Since becoming a Unitarian Universalist in 1991, she has been an active lay leader within Unitarian Universalist congregations, the Heartland district, and the Association at large. She was one of the founding members of UU Allies for Racial Equity and served as its chair for its first two years. As a volunteer for UU Trauma Response Ministry, Annette provided mental health and other disaster relief to victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Annette received her master’s degree in Social Work from Boston University in 1981 and has worked as an administrator and executive director of numerous not-for-profit organizations, including mental health and chemical dependency treatment programs. Since 1995, she has been a partner in a software consulting and training firm, TRIAD Consulting, based in Traverse City, MI.

Annette currently lives in Richmond, VA with her partner, Wendy, and enjoys women’s basketball, hiking, writing, and new technology.

The Reverend Sue Sinnamon, Director of Faith Development
Sue has served as a religious education professional since 1983. She most recently served as the Associate Minister for Religious Education at the Unitarian Church of Evanston. Her background includes Unitarian Universalist Life Span Religious Education, Humanistic and Transpersonal Education and lifespan models of spiritual growth and development. She has served on the Meadville Lombard Winter Institute Committee; taught Creating Intergenerational Community and Spirituality in the Second Half of Life at Star Island's Religious Education Week; served in the CMWD Consultants Program; chaired the Board of the Jung Institute of Chicago and served on the Housing Commission for the City of Evanston, IL.

In her 20 years of parish ministry, Sue has loved creating opportunities for intergenerational activities and in addition to extensive experience with social justice programming, she loves combining the arts with religious education. Sue believes that each part of our spiritual journey has its own integrity and lessons from the earliest years through the second half of life. Sue began her position with the Southeast District August 15, 2007. She lives in Williamsburg, VA with her husband, John Kerr, who is serving as the Episcopal Chaplain at the College of William and Mary and Bruton Parish, and her cat, Bert the Bengal. Sue loves entertaining (especially the cooking), reading, and beaches.
