Committee for Annual Award for Distinguished Service 

to the Cause of Unitarian Universalism

 

Date:                March 6, 2009

 

The Annual Award for Distinguished Service to the Cause of Unitarian
Universalism is one of the most prestigious awards given by the UUA.
The Committee is anxious to have nominations from throughout the
leadership of our denomination so we can select the best from a broad
range of possibilities.

 

Candidates for this award should, over a considerable period of time,
have strengthened the institutions of our UU denomination or clarified
our message in an extraordinary way.  They should have exemplified what
Unitarian Universalism stands for.

 

Ministers or laypersons may be nominated.  Nominations should include
supporting reasons and information about the candidates. Nominations
made in the past two years will be automatically considered by the
Committee, without requiring another nominations letter. The Award
Committee itself is also able to nominate candidates.

 

The deadline for receipt of nominations is April 1, 2009.  The final
selection will be made by the UUA Board of Trustees at its April, 2009
meeting.

 

Recent recipients have included Forrest Church, Denny & Jerry Davidoff,
Robert West, Jack Mendelsohn, Leon Hopper, Carl Scovel, Natalie
Gulbrandsen, Gene Navias and Leon Spencer. 

 

Please send your nominations to: Patricia Solomon, Chair, UUA
Distinguished Service Award Committee, c/o Nancy Lawrence, UUA , 25
Beacon Street, Boston, MA  02108, or by email to nlawrence at uua.org.
Please respond on official letterhead as applicable.
