Membership
All United Methodist communicators can benefit from the relationships developed through the United Methodist Association of Communicators (UMAC), whether serving on staff at a general agency, district, or conference; working for a related institution or ministry; working or volunteering at a local church, volunteering time on a conference commission or attending school.
Within our network we strive to share ideas, learn new ways of communicating, and study best practices. We also aim to stay on top of new technologies and trends. Most importantly, we develop relationships and connections that strengthen your ministry. Through annual gatherings, UMAC members receive support and encouragement, regardless of the context of their individual ministries.
Membership is based on the calendar year, January-December. There is currently no fee to become a member!.
