What is the difference between an individual and a congregational UUMN membership in UUMN?
The benefits for each membership type are the same. Regular, contributing and sustaining are all individual memberships offering the opportunity for whatever monetary commitment one chooses. A congregational membership allows one congregation appointed representative as a UUMN member which designation may be transferred as circumstances merit. Many of our congregational members also have individual membership(s) for their music staff. If this is the case the designate member is often the Chair of the Music Committee or equivalent. The congregational membership is a way of publicly affirming the congregation’s overall commitment to their music program and music ministry in the wider community. The fee is “suggested” based on the size of the operating budget. It is not necessary to have both an individual and a congregational membership.
