Unitarian Univeralist UN Office (UU-UNO)

Blue Ribbon Congregation

1. Have an Envoy, Youth Envoy, or Envoy Team.

Envoys serve as the link between their congregation, the UU-UNO, and the United Nations. They promote UU-UNO education and advocacy in their congregations and bring local concerns to the international stage through the UU-UNO.

2. Hold an annual UN Sunday service.

In celebration of the founding of the United Nations on October 24th, 1945, the UU-UNO invites congregations to deepen their understanding of the United Nations by devoting one service in October to highlighting the work of the UU-UNO and reaffirming the connections between UU principles and vital issues dealt with at the UN.

3. Have 15 members or 5% of your congregation be contributing members to the UU-UNO.

UU-UNO membership is $50

($40 for ministers and seniors)

4. Give the UU-UNO an annual budget line or collection plate.

In return, your congregation will be recognized for its steadfast dedication to international human rights and be presented with:

-a blue ribbon at UUA General Assembly or the CUC Annual Conference and Meeting.
-formal recognition on the UU-UNO website.
-a special plaque to be displayed at your congregation.

Make your congregation a Blue Ribbon Congregation before GA 2012!
