Unsung Unitarian Universalist (UU) Award

This award recognizes and celebrates members whose quiet, dedicated actions embody our Unitarian Universalist values. It is given each year to someone who works behind the scenes — doing essential, meaningful work without seeking recognition or acclaim.

​The following individuals are not eligible:

• Past recipients/honorees (see full list below)
• Current Board of Trustees or Program Council members
• The Minister
• Staff members
