GENERAL ASSEMBLY 2010



Next year's General Assembly, the annual meeting of the Unitarian Universalist Association, will be held at the Minneapolis Convention Center on June 23 - 27, 2010. You can register to attend GA, and apply to be a GA volunteer, at www.uua.org/ga beginning on March 1, 2010. Last year, the Mountain Desert District welcomed UUs from across the country and, yes, around the world. In June the Prarie Star District will try to match the welcome we MDDers provided. See you in Minneapolis!


Want to Offer a Workshop? Do you or your congregation have something to offer congregations from other areas of the country?
The deadline is fast approaching.


The UUA has developed a new process for the selection of workshops to be offered at General Assembly. A team comprised of Unitarian Universalist Association staff and GA Planning Committee members is responsible for developing and/or inviting proposals for quality, mission-based GA programs for GA 2010 in Minneapolis. Proposals are due no later than November 16, 2009. In the past, each District had two guaranteed workshop slots to use or to give to their congregations to use. This will no longer be the case. Everyone who wants to submit a workshop application will have to use the new process. The new process is open to everyone.
