AUC/UWM Bylaws - Article 6. Section 3.  Delegates and Voting. The delegates to any business meeting shall include each minister and licensed Unity teacher member; a maximum of four (4) voting laypersons from each traditional member ministry; and a maximum of two (2) lay persons from each eligible alternative ministry.  Each delegate to a business meeting, when certified by the credentials committee, shall be eligible to cast one vote on any question before the meeting when present.  Both proxy and absentee voting are specifically prohibited.

Delegates from a ministry are registered by the ministry sending a letter, with the ministry letterhead, designating the delegates including name(s) and email(s).

This year, the UWM Board of Trustees approve the suspension of the requirement for Ministry delegates to complete the UWM-designated delegate class and for Credentialed leaders to take CEU credits, in order to be eligible to vote in the November 5, 2025, Annual Business Meeting.  (As stated in the 2024 Membership Model Policy, section 4, number 7.)  All other requirements are still in effect.

Email delegate letters to Brenda Hicks-Wiggins (bhicks-wiggins@unity.org) by Oct 16, 2025. Letters received after this date will not be considered.

Only voting members and approved delegates will be sent the Zoom link. All others who wish to view the meeting can do so through Facebook Live (account not required to view).
