Woman’s Missionary Union Approves Reduced Budget

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (BP) – Twelve national WMU staff members opted to accept the voluntary retirement offer announced by the organization in early August, and WMU board members approved a 2020-21 budget that is down approximately $1 million from the 2019-20 budget, which was $5.8 million.

Both of these developments came as a result of a decline in sales due to COVID-19.

Current personnel at national WMU stands at approximately 40 staff members.
