Administrator
Dana Kader Robb
(she/her)
Milwaukee, WI

Dana has been working with the UU Women’s Federation for over 20 years, beginning as their graphic designer and becoming the administrator in 2014. While she’s not personally a UU, she's often very connected to the UU women she has met and how they walk through life. Dana has been an entrepreneur since 1991 and a community volunteer for longer. She studied -- and taught -- communication, branding, and networking and has been honored with a number of awards for marketing and design. To this day, one of her greatest joys is that she gets to work with people who are passionate about what they're doing. Dana is excited about sailboats, good writing, beautiful design, and the energy of people working together toward a positive goal.

Director
Ann Wiesner
(she/her)

Minnetonka, MN

Ann has been a UU since 2002, when her proximity to a devastating community tragedy inspired her to seek deeper spiritual connections and belonging. Ann’s work with UUWF started in 2020, when she joined as interim director, charged with helping the Board develop their vision and strategy for the future.  From there, Ann guided the hiring of the UUWF’s national organizers and continues to oversee strategy for the organization as the permanent Director.  Ann’s your go-to for strategic questions, partnerships and collaborations, programming ideas, and Board of Directors support. She is an expert facilitator with a grassroots organizer’s heart, and she’s always been drawn to work that leverages the power of collective energy and action to create change in the world. Ann got her commitment to community from her mother, who is a full-time volunteer; her love of a good meal and robust political debate from her father, whose first run for office was when she was in grade school; and her comfort with risk and ability to connect with people working as a bartender in Las Vegas.
