The Ham & Eggs Award Criteria
UME started the annual Ham & Eggs Award in 1986...
to give international recognition to deserving couples who have had a positive impact on many couples as a result of their involvement in United Marriage Encounter. It is presented to recipients at the Valentine event in their local UME Community. The guideline for the award is long-term (usually at least 10 years) sacrificial service.

The award gives recognition to two types of couples...
who have provided long-term sacrificial giving of themselves to the ministry of United Marriage Encounter:
1. The highly visible UME couple whose name is easily recognized from being a Team Couple, former UME International Board Couple, Community Executive Couple, Task Force Chaircouple, Celebration Chaircouple, etc.
2. The quiet, dedicated, "behind the scenes" couple who just keep going and going (like the Energizer bunny) in their quiet ministry through UME. Often these couples are known only in a specific UME Community.
These couples are the backbone of UME.
The couple must have been encountered at least 10 years
UME Policy states that:
No current UME International Board Couple or Marriage Encounter Support Foundation Staff member may receive the award.
Plaques with the names of all the honorees
hang in the UME International Office at 2610 Park Ave., Muscatine, IA
