UNIT MEMBER OF THE YEAR INFORMATION The Unit Member of the Year, a program established by the MN Conference UMW Executive Committee in 2004, presents an award annually to one outstanding local unit member from each of the five districts of the conference. Each district establishes its own criteria and chooses its own member of the year. All five chosen members are recognized at the MN Conference Annual Meeting. Twin Cities, in addition, recognizes its Unit Member of the Year at its spring meeting. (The Member of the Year may expect some reimbursement of expenses at these meetings.) Each local unit in Twin Cities is invited to submit a nomination of one of their local members to receive the award. The TC UMW Member of the Year Award Committee will make the selection from the nominations submitted. The committee has established two criteria for nominees. 1) The woman must be a current active UMW member in a local unit of the TC District. 2) She must have made significant contributions to UMW, church, and/or her local/U.S/world community. TC does not consider current or past elected or appointed Women’s Division, Jurisdiction, Conference and District officers for this award. Women previously nominated can be nominated again. When choosing a nominee, local units are encouraged to think not only of the woman with the long cumulative record of service, but also of the woman, perhaps younger or newer to UMW, who has already made significant contributions to her UMW, church and/or community. NOMINATION PROCEDURES: When making the nomination, it is important to help the committee get to know the nominee better. Do not simply list achievement, contributions, etc. Help the committee to understand her special gifts and graces by providing a description of how they have been used to contribute to and provide leadership in mission. Prepare a written nomination containing the following information: 1. Name, address, phone number, a photo, and e-mail,of the nominee 2. A description of the nominee’s gifts and graces and how they have been used to contribute to and provide leadership in mission. a. in the spiritual, nurturing and outreach ministries of UMW b. in the church c. in the community (local/U.S./world) 3.
