Are You Compensating Professional Guests Fairly? Fee Guidelines for Guest Preachers and Musicians

Many congregations have a budget line item to fund guest preachers and musicians, but is it enough to fairly compensate our professionals? At least one UUA professional organization has researched and developed a scale of fees for professional services. These are based on the UUA's cost-of-living Geo Indexes.


The UUMA (Unitarian Universalist Ministers Association) offers a scale of fees based on a review of national averages and a survey of the UUMA membership.
