About the award

The UMCRM Association's Legacy of Leadership Award is given to notable leaders within the United Methodist Camp/Retreat Ministries community who have made a significant impact in our field through faith-filled, long-time service.

This award gives us an opportunity to share these individuals' remarkable stories and to publicly recognize and celebrate them at the biennial National Camp & Retreat Leaders' Gathering.

Nominations open in the year preceding a National Camp & Retreat Leaders' Gathering. The current nomination period closes August 16th. 2024. Nominees will be vetted by UMCRM’s Review Task Force and selected by the vote of the UMCRM Board of Directors.

Email info@umcrm.org with any questions you may have.
