UCCR seeks to honor the endeavors of peacekeeping in our homes, workplaces, churches, schools, parks and entire community. A commitment to peacemaking and to the common ground we share helps build a society where diversity is valued and peace is desired.
The Peacekeeper Award is presented annually to an outstanding member of the community who has a superior commitment to the process of peace and to conflict resolution. The Peacekeeper is representative of the highest principles and extraordinary humanity exemplified in conflict resolution.
In recognition, a crystal sphere is presented to the Peacekeeper, and in tribute, a bronze plaque with the Peacekeepers name is engraved and permantly displayed at the Law and Justice Center in Salt Lake City to celebrate this impressive distinction.
