On Sunday, June 28th, at 11:45am in the Fireside room, Autri Dutta will share a brief presentation on a data-driven approach to welcoming newcomers, staying connected to members, and understanding what makes our small groups thrive. All are welcome, and if you lead a group or activity at UUCPA, we especially hope you’ll be there. The presentation includes a section on how group leaders’ attendance data contributes to the health of the whole community, and Maricia Scott will close with a short hands-on walkthrough of how to record attendance in Realm — both on the app and on the web. You’re welcome to bring your phone.

If you’ve ever wondered how many first-time visitors return, which groups are most effective at building lasting connections, or how we identify members who may be drifting away — this presentation will give you a clear picture of how we’re now tracking and acting on all of it.

It’s the 4th Sunday, so please grab your lunch and join us — we’ll get started at 11:45am in the Fireside Room.
