Bryan Powell

Family and Job info:Bryan Powell joined Atkinson in 2001 along with wife, Janice Weis, and their two daughters, Devyn and Jenna. After teaching youth RE for several years, Bryan decided to tackle something more relaxing and predictable like church finances. When the church Treasurer job became too predictable, Bryan agreed to serve as church Moderator. Bryan enjoys the strong opinions and independent thinking, diversity of ideas, and shared liberal values that thrive in the Atkinson community. As Atkinson embarks on its dream of a major capital campaign for building and community renewal, renovation and growth, Bryan looks forward to working with other church members to make this dream a reality. For his day job, Bryan is an attorney at a downtown Portland law firm.

 Jim Russell Jim Russel, his wife Carolyn, and their children Amanda and Nicholas, knew on their first visit to Atkinson Memorial Church five years ago they found their spiritual home, having been drawn to Atkinson's strong community spirit and supporting Unitarian principles and values. Jim's work on the membership committee has further convinced him there are millions of people who are also Unitarians, they just don't know it yet. Jim is a Principal with a global consulting firm with expertise in strategic benefit planning. He has a business degree from Drake University and a MBA from the University of Portland. Raised in Colorado along with seven other "feisty" siblings, Jim has lived in Oregon since 1983, enjoying time with family and outdoor activities of all types.
