Antoinette Brown Award Nominations Are Open for 2023

Antoinette Brown Award Nominations: Celebrating the life and ministry of Antoinette Brown and all women in ordained ministry, the national setting announces that nominations for the Antoinette Brown Award are open until January 31, 2023.

Nominees for Trailblazers will be ordained clergywomen in the UCC who honor Antoinette Brown’s vision of women’s calling to leadership in church and society. We seek to honor exceptional current work as well as lifetime achievement, with an emphasis on breaking a path for women in ministry.

Nominees for Catalysts will be projects, collectives, congregations, or organizations that provide a provocative space that advances and empowers women in ministry.

A persuasive nomination will offer a detailed account of the nominee’s leadership; use additional pages as needed. A minimum of three letters of support, as well as any supporting documentation, may be attached to the nomination form, which can be found here, or as email attachments to accompany the nomination.
