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:

• Chapter Presenters (see list of presenters below.)
• Current Presenters
• Guest Presenters
• Anti-Racism Anti-Oppression Multicultural Programming.

Chapter Presenters

• Chosen from within our collegial ranks and based on identified needs in ministry.
• CENTER sponsors individual Chapter Presenters for no more than three years.
• Funding available to chapters: up to $500 toward expense of bringing the presenter to the retreat, and up to $500 honorarium for the presenter. (Reimbursements are per chapter per church year).
• Additional presenter costs are born by the chapter.
• Chapters may collaborate by conducting joint presentations (at $1000 maximum each).
• Program and financial details are worked out between the chapter and the presenter.
• CENTER reimburses the chapter after the program is completed and summary evaluations are returned to CENTER.
• Reimbursement for expenses to the presenter is a chapter responsibility and should be handled with utmost dispatch.

Guest Presenters

When a chapter has an opportunity for a speaker in your area who can address you needs (UU colleague or someone from outside our movement), CENTER offers the same funding assistance as it does to other presenters.

A number of colleagues offer such workshops professionally. You may contact Rev. Roy Reynolds to receive a list of who is available: RoyReyn@bellsouth.net. If you would like to offer such a workshop, you may contact him to be added to the list. These workshops are not sponsored by CENTER, but the same funding assistance applies as it does to other Chapter Presenters (as long as funds area available).

Chapter Subsidies

Contact presenters directly, and then following the retreat, contact Roy Reynolds to apply for CENTER subsidies. Funds are limited. Subsidies are awarded on a first-come first-served basis.
