Kevin Karsner Vice President ( 1 year term starting in 2025)

Kevin Karsner is thrilled to be able to give back to the beloved community of All Peoples by being a trustee on the board.  I and my wife, Kathy, moved from Washington State at the end of 2018 on a suggestion by our son who had just moved to Kentucky with his fiancee at the time. Kathy and I started attending All Peoples back in August of 2023 and instantly found our new worship home and a great community of individuals.  We have enjoyed getting involved with the church through various events, the adult class Sunday morning discussions, joining the wonderful choir and looking forward to the fall when we will be leading a Connection group.  Outside of the congregation, Kevin is working as a supervisor for the Jefferson County Circuit Clerks office.  He enjoys walking his two schnoodles along Goose Creek, getting out doing yard work, exploring this great area, doing some grilling and baking.  I am so thankful for the openness of All Peoples and its inclusivity of all, regardless of background.  

Frank Nye, Treasurer ( 1 year term starting 2025)

Frank Nye was raised UU in Ann Arbor, MI. Frank (and Allison) joined the church in 1996 after their first daughter was dedicated during a fierce snowstorm. He started involvement by writing some software to better manage pledges. After getting to know the treasurer, Jon Tyson, Jon asked him if he would be interested in being the treasurer. Frank accepted.

Through the years Frank has been Treasurer (4 yrs.), Admin Committee Chair, Treasurer (2 yrs.), Board President, Board Secretary for the Heartland UU district where the initial by-laws for the conversion to the new Midwest Region were written, Board Secretary, Admin Committee Secretary and Admin Committee member.

Frank Nye’s goals are to continue Steve Koehler’s work of expanding the circle of people involved with the administration of this church and to set the environment so that the treasurer could serve a one-year term.

Bill Holt ( 2 year term starting in 2024)

Raised in Louisville, I attended First Unitarian Church sporadically with my mother. Following early education in Louisville public schools I pursued further education in the Midwest and California, returning to Louisville after 30 years. Currently retired, I was formerly involved in medical research, teaching and patient care.

Moving back to Louisville with my young family, we joined TJUC in 2004. Barb kept me active in RE for a while; we worried her by offering a weekend camping/canoe event for teenagers! We have helped a bit with Winter Fair and I have previously served on the Board, one year as secretary. With the retirement of Elwood Sturtevant, I served on the Interim Minister search committee. In recent years I occasionally bring “no added fat, plant based, whole food” to potluck and may debate the merits of the Mediterranean diet vs WFPB.
