Universalist Service Committee. Executive Director.

The Unitarian Service Committee (USC) was formed as a standing committee of the American Unitarian Association in May 1940. Its purpose was to investigate opportunities in America and abroad for humanitarian service. During and after World War II, the Unitarian Service Committee aided hundreds of displaced persons in occupied countries, allowing many of them to find passage to the United States. The present-day Unitarian Universalist Service Committee continues to endeavor to advance human rights and social justice throughout the world.

In 1940 the Universalist Board of Trustees appointed an Emergency War Relief Committee to organize support for its Universalist War Relief Fund. The Universalist Service Committee, officially formed in 1945, succeeded the War Relief Committee.
