Kelly Hawley

Picture
Kelly Hawley has a finance degree from Iowa State and an MBA from Rockhurst. She has a 23-year history in various roles in the telecom industry.  She has extensive experience as a volunteer in multiple organizations.  Kelly is compassionate, open, truthful, modest, likes to see things from different perspectives, enjoys communicating through humor, loves to laugh, loves to learn, and strives to elevate her thinking. As a member of the Board of Trustees she would bring these qualities:  efficient, dedicated, driven, focused, a taskmaster, a “doer,” thoughtful—yet decisive, familiar with finance and a project manager. She is certified in PMP (Project Management).
After discovering UVC three years ago she quickly became active serving on the Social Media team, creating graphic arts images, transcribing sermons and serving as a lead on our successful 2021 Annual Fundraiser writing stories of members to connect the community.  She has been a UVC member for over a year and continues to serve.

She has five children and counts them as her greatest teachers. Her hobbies include building/remodeling, baking, sewing, puzzling, reading, cross-fit and walking. She has lived in Lee’s Summit for 24 years. ​​Kelly strives to shine her light with, and inspire those whose path she is blessed to cross.

“I was a successful business professional. But what I am most proud of are my 5 children. We have a strong, unique, family unit that can endure any storm. I have learned more from them than I could possibly imaginable. I am proud to lead my children through this adventure we call life. My spiritual practice has significantly evolved over the past few years, and it will continue to evolve in this lifetime. My best spiritual work comes when I am centered and healthy. When I have grace with myself and am centered in love, I project my best spiritual self.”​


Scotty McMasters

Scotty grew up in a small town in southern Missouri and received a degree in cybersecurity from the University of Central Missouri. He works for Well Sky corporation. He describes himself as a “Jack of all trades.” His hobbies include gardening, camping, cooking, home improvement, building computers and creating art.
 He came to UVC seven years ago and has been a member for three years. Scotty, Emily and young son Herschel feel they have found a special home within the community at Unity Village Chapel. He says, “I am a firm believer in the power of hope and positive thinking to motivate meaningful change in the world. It would mean so much to be able to bring these interests to our community and build on those interests with others to make meaningful change.”

​“Growing up in a small town, I was raised Christian but uniquely non-denominational (that being my family wasnever a member of any church and I rarely attended any services). As such most of my high school and the beginning of college I went through a period of non-faith. In the latter half of my college experience I discovered a sense of community that was lacking in my faith journey and that rekindled my spiritual practice. It was at this time that I was introduced to Unity Village Chapel and truly felt that I had found a community with similar ideals within a faith based setting. I am a firm believer in the power of hope and positive thinking to motivate meaningful change in the world. This mindset is what I see in and hope to bring more out of at Unity Village Chapel.”  ~Scotty McMasters

Bonita Paulson 

Picture
​Bonita has had a 45-year career as an administrator in higher education institutions, in medical/hospital/ insurance and in the housing industry as a leasing manager.  She served as secretary, treasurer and president of the board of directors on Stonecrest Subdivision in Blue Springs. Her strengths include being a proficient project manager, a good team member who can visualize next steps and move forward with consensus. In addition, she is open minded and open hearted. 
Bonita has attended UVC for three years and has volunteered in the office for much of that time archiving scatterings and logging SpiritSchool check in records into our database. She is willing to make this commitment 
to the Board of Trustees because she has evolved through Unity and is confident that she will continue to grow in her capabilities through further service to UVC.

“I practice dwelling with my Christ-center as each moment presents itself. I practice giving love while letting go of expectations of love being returned to me "my" way. I practice celebrating the love that I do receive. I practice inner peace…..  I am open-minded and open-hearted.  I am willing to make this commitment at my age because I know that in Unity, I continue to grow in my capabilities.”  ~Bonita Paulson
