GA 2012 Update by Suzanne Fast

The deadline for submitting program proposals has been extended until November 30. Please leave a comment below if you are interested in working on developing or presenting Equual Access sponsored programs.

Some people fall in love with General Assembly; I'm one of them. The hurrying crowds, the chance conversations, feeling connected to a tradition so much larger than myself. It has it's down side (over-scheduling, elevator issues, and getting bumped on the head by a million backpacks just to name a few), but I look forward to those few days of being with thousands of Unitarian Universalists. For me, it is both exhausting and revitalizing at the same time.

As GA coordinator for Equual Access, I continue to advocate for improving General Assembly by building awareness of inclusion and accessibility in the planning process. General Assembly is only a small part of the work of creating change. But in those few days, many people can be reached and many connections established. To do this effectively, it takes more than just me and our Board and our Standing Committees -- please consider becoming involved in our GA planning and preparations.
