It’s Awards Season!
(No, this isn’t about the Golden Globes or Academy Awards.)
Every year at District Assembly, the PCD recognizes the achievements of individuals and congregations in areas including social justice, community service, religious education, youth ministry, website design, generosity and growth.
How do we determine the recipients of these awards? We depend on you!
Nominations can be made by anyone familiar with the work of the individual or congregation.
We are requesting nomination for the following awards:
- Patti Lawrence Distinguished Service: For an individual UU who has provided exceptional leadership at the District level, not only by valued contributions to our religious movement but also by exemplifying our common values through their life.
