Each year, the Board of UURMaPA honors a volunteer who has made an extraordinary contribution to our organization, working behind the scenes during their retirement years. This year’s deserving honoree is Marni Harmony (Winter Park, FL).

Marni retired from settled parish ministry in 2013 and has given of herself to UURMaPA in so many ways. She introduced the concept of targeted ministries, as well as peer support groups. She has served as a member of the Board, and held the portfolio of UUMA-UUA liaison. More recently, Marni has been a member of the team that selects our Creative Sageing Awards.

Over the years since her retirement from parish ministry, Marni has distinguished herself among colleagues and friends as being always willing to say “Yes,” when asked to contribute her gifts. We offer hearty congratulations to the Reverend Marni Harmony, recipient of the UURMaPA Unsung Hero Award for 2023.
