Nominations for these awards should be sent to awards@uurmapa.org or contact the Vice President (listed on our Governance page).

The Unsung UURMaPAn Award

Previously the Unsung Hero, this award was new in 2012. It is to be given to an UURMAPA member who has not been recognized for his or her vital contributions to our UU retired movement along with generous service to others. The award will honor a volunteer who has made an extraordinary contribution to our association, working behind the scenes during their retirement years. The successful nominee will not have been recognized elsewhere.

The Unsung UURMaPAn will be announced at one of our gatherings and in Elderberries, and will receive a $500 honorarium.
