Chapter Presenters Program

A Chapter Presenter Program is a 6-12 hour workshop for a UUMA chapter meeting or retreat.

CENTER offers three kinds of opportunities for the chapters:

What Is a Chapter Presenter

  • Presenters are chosen from within our collegial ranks, based on identified needs in ministry.
  • Funding is available to chapters up to $1000 per presentation for travel and honorarium (up to $500 for travel and honorarium of $400-$500 depending on number of speakers.)
  • Additional costs are born by the chapter.
  • Program and financial details are worked out between the chapter and the presenter.
  • The chapter pays travel and honorarium directly to the presenter. This responsibility should be handled with utmost dispatch
  • CENTER reimburses the chapter directly for the presentation costs after summary evaluations and all travel receipts are returned to CENTER (mailed to the Treasurer).
  • Maximum honorarium is $500 and maximum travel reimbursement is $500.

Guest Presenters

When a chapter has an opportunity for a speaker in your area who can address your needs (UU colleague or someone from outside our movement), CENTER offers the same funding offered to other presenters. A number of colleagues offer such workshops professionally. These workshops are not sponsored CENTER, but up to $1000 is available (as long as funds are available).
