NAUA Board Members 2025-2026

At the 2nd Annual NAUA Summit and Business Meeting (October, 2025), four NAUA members were elected to join the board of trustees for a three-year term, while several former trustees completed their terms or elected to resign early. The new board decided to install three interim officers to fill vacated positions, while Treasurer Bob Simoni continues in his position. Permanent officers will be named over the next few months.

Roy Dickerson

Professionally, Roy was an FAA technician and manager overseeing technical operations. He managed the runway upgrade and new tower installation at SFO. He and Diana were married in their back yard by the Unitarian Universalist intern from the church that they eventually joined about 20 years later. They were active in the church, both were on the board, involved with the kids, and doing their bit. Both Roy and his wife served as board presidents.

As vice president of his UU church, he became aware of the gadfly controversy and visited Rev. Dr. Todd Eklof at the Spokane UU church to learn more. He became convinced that their Hayward church was veering in the wrong direction; rather than encouraging freedom of thought, they were encouraging an echo-chamber where dissent was cause for ostracism. After talking to board members and writing his thoughts for the president’s message, a rift opened up that was never to heal. A group of members from that congregation started a NAUA fellowship while keeping friendships with members of the old church.  As a member of NAUA, Roy has been active in the monthly worship services and as a member of the Worship Committee, as a member of CIRCLE groups, and hosting the Hayward NAUA Fellowship. He is also involved with Braver Angels and No Labels.

Roy believes that Freedom, Reason, and Tolerance are foundational, but that evidence, experience, and pragmatism are crucial elements as well. Logic and Reason give way to something overlooked or unknown as we struggle to find solutions and realize that we didn’t have everything needed; that we don’t have all the answers is a keystone to how he views Unitarianism. Roy will bring his knowledge, extensive experience, insights and perspectives to the Board to help guide NAUA in its future development.
