Action Council Resolutions for 2018 Annual Meeting

At the April 2017 Annual Meeting, two Action Council resolutions were passed by the congregation:

  • Use of UUCPA Banner
  • UUCPA Endorsements

Approval of these two resolutions was approved to be effective until the April 2018 Annual Meeting.
This year the Action Council requests approval of the same two resolutions until such time as they may be rescinded by the congregation at a future Annual Meeting. There have been no other changes to the resolutions since last year. You can find last year’s resolutions on our website under the Justice tab at: https://tinyurl.com/ydehcq89.

In the past year, these two resolutions have been used as follows:
