Who Should Receive InterConnections
December 15, 2007
Q. I am unsure who should receive InterConnections at my congregation. Can you help me understand this?A. InterConnections is mailed quarterly to board members and staff of all congregations. Some other positions (listed below) are also eligible to receive it. Your church office is asked at the time of your annual meeting to update the list of people who should receive InterConnections. The data is requested through the Congregational E lected Board and Staff packet that updates data for InterConnections as well as the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) Directory.
If for some reason the updates don't happen around the time of the annual meeting, ask the office staff to do the following:
Go to Data Services Login for Congregations. This page will ask for your congregation's ID number, a 4-digit number printed in the UUA directory with your congregation's directory listing. You will also need a password, which someone in the church office should have. When you're on the page titled Data Services for Congregations, about a fourth of the way down the page look for the phrase "View and Print CEBS List." Open and print out that page. Have the office staff add anyone who should be receiving InterConnections and delete those who should no longer receive it. Mail that page to the address listed there. InterConnections is sent free only to members of the governing board and the staff of congregations, plus people in the following positions: Religious Education Committee Chair, Religious Education-Lay Volunteer, Adult Religious Education-Lay Volunteer, Anti-Racism/Journey Toward Wholeness Chair, Denominational Affairs Chair, Finance Committee Chair, Membership/Growth Chair, Newsletter Editor/Outreach Committee Chair, Personnel Committee Chair, Social Justice Chair, Worship Committee Chair, Young Adult Programs Chair, Young Adult Religious Education-Lay Volunteer.
When someone goes off the governing board or resigns from one of the other positions listed above, they are no longer eligible to receive a paper copy of the newsletter. They should be invited to view it online at uua.org/interconnections where anyone can view current and past issues of InterConnections and print out copies. Anyone can also sign up to be notified by email when each new issue of InterConnections is published.
Adding a name to the InterConnections list can only be done through the church office. Also, there are no paid subscriptions to InterConnections.
