My name is Rosamond Daniels, and I am the Province III representative to the UTO Board. I was born in Guyana, South America, but have lived in the USA since 1972. I have been the UTO Coordinator for the Diocese of Washington from 2012 to 2018. I attend Transfiguration Church in Silver Spring Maryland and have held many leadership positions in my church including president of the ECW, UTO representative, and fundraising chair for the ECW. I am married and a proud mother of 2 adult children and their spouses, and extremely proud grandmother of 3 little ones. I also have 9 siblings. I am retired and have worn many hats in my professional life including teaching, Director of Head Start, Accounting, Real Estate Sales, and Adult Trainer. I continue to be active in my church, civic and political organizations. My passion is reading and gardening.

I am Maggie Noland from Livingston, Alabama. I have been an active Episcopalian all my life and am excited to have been appointed to the United Thank Offering Board to represent Province IV. Through the years, I have attended Sunday School, was a member of EYC, have been a long-standing member of ECW, and am a Daughter of the King. I have participated in Kairos weekends at the Aliceville Federal Prison for Women and now serve on that Kairos Advisory Board. In addition, I have attended Cursillo and Triennial. In other words, I am all into sharing love through the Episcopal Church. My tenure with UTO began with regular participation in Ingathering Sundays and moved on to being on the Diocese of Alabama's UTO committee. Eventually, I became the UTO Coordinator for the Diocese of Alabama. From there, I was appointed to the National UTO Board for Province VII and made many new friends and learned a lot about a province with which I was not familiar. It is exciting for me to now be working with the dioceses in the province of which I am a member! I have one daughter, two granddaughters, and two great-grandsons who are the joys of my life. I am filled with gratitude for this opportunity to serve God and the Episcopal Church.

Gail is currently the UTO rep for St. David's, Lansing, coordinator for the Diocese of Western Michigan, and is honored to have been elected to serve as the Province V representative.
