What are the certification deadlines?
You must certify your congregation's membership numbers each year by February 1 at 5:00 p.m. PST. (Because this deadline falls on a Sunday in 2009, the deadline to certify will be extended one day, to Monday, February 2 at 5:00 p.m. PST).
Membership numbers, which are used to determine the number of voting delegates you are allowed to send to General Assembly as well as your congregation's Annual Program Fund requested contribution, may not be changed using the online system between February and July. The Unitarian Universalist Association Board intends for membership numbers not to change between February 1 and July 1. In the event of compelling need, you may petition the Secretary of the Association (secretary @ uua.org), to change a certified membership number. After July 1, you may petition the Director of the Annual Program Fund (apf @ uua.org), to change your membership number.
Please don't wait until the last minute to submit your congregation's information! Due to high traffic on the day of the deadline, our email mailboxes and phone lines may be inundated and you may not get the help you need if you wait until the very last day.
