Each year, the United Methodist Association of Communicators recognizes excellence in communication through an extensive awards program. This year, the Upper New York Conference received two awards for its submissions.
DalglishIn Class V – Video Production, Conference Videographer Mary Dalglish received a third place award for her submission of a video piece about the ministries at the Seneca Street United Methodist Church in Buffalo. The video highlights the congregation’s call to connect to the area’s children – through a Sunday breakfast and dinner, an after-school program, and a seven-week summer program – and to its area residents by helping them improve their educational opportunities, their job capabilities, and their health capabilities.
VischiIn Class IX – Publicity and Advertising, Conference Graphic Designer Christian Vischi received third place for the design of promotional materials for the Conference’s Africa 360 initiative. Africa 360 is the Conference’s holistic plan for health and education initiatives in Africa. The promotional materials include a pledge card and envelope, a brochure, a large table-top display, bookmarks, a Lenten Devotional, district newsletters, a dedicated Advocate issue, and impact statement sheets.
