Please follow-up with:

A. A statement describing the past and/or present commitments to the ministries of the United Methodist Church in New England in which the nominee has been involved, including some indication of time periods, leadership and effectiveness.

B. Letters of support from persons who also feel that the nominee should receive this recognition.

The recipient of this award will be asked to designate a program/mission within the connectional structure of the New England Annual Conference (including General Church and Conference Advance Specials) to receive a donation of $500.00 in honor of this award. In addition, appropriate recognition will be made at the annual session of the Conference and/or the local congregation of the recipient. The award will be determined by a selection committee chosen by the Society. Recipient of the award will be notified by the Executive Director of the Society in cooperation with those making the nomination. No notification will be given to those not chosen.

Please remember that the intent of this award is to recognize those who have given sustained service in the context of the United Methodist Church in New England, and not for service to other (albeit worthy) causes and organizations. We encourage our local congregations to recognize and honor other commitments as part of their ongoing development of discipleship and stewardship.
