 Jeri Dill, Administrative Assistant
Jeri Dill has served as the
Administrative Assistant to Rev. Susan Ritchie since August
2005.
Jeri is originally from Virginia but
now calls central Ohio home.
Jeri has a long-time background in
administrative support and special events production. In addition to her
part-time duties at NUUC, Jeri currently performs the office duties for her
husband's remodeling/carpentry business and devotes a great deal of time to
caring for her mother and stepfather.
Jeri is not a congregant of NUUC (as
the Board made a deliberate decision to fill her position from outside the
congregation), but she states that she enjoys getting to know and working with
congregants through the many projects and committee work. She especially
appreciates the flexible schedule and calmer pace of her current duties and
considers her job "therapy"; getting to apply her skills and talents by working
for a respected and learned minister in a charming old historic building.
