Every year the Unitarian Universalist Church of Bloomington selects up to 11 delegates to attend the UU General Assembly to represent our church and vote on matters on our behalf. This year GA is June 20-23 and will be entirely virtual.
The board will strive to present a slate of delegates that includes those with GA experience and those without, and that represents the breadth the congregation.
Delegates are expected to:
- Familiarize yourself with the business items on the GA Agenda. Discuss agenda items with your congregation.
- Learn how to effectively speak in General Session and how to vote on GA business items by reviewing the Rules of Procedure. The Rules of Procedure are found in the final agenda, which is published in late May.
- Consult the UUA's Delegate frequently asked questions.
- Familiarize themselves with the dates and costs associated with attending the GA.
- After GA, share information about your GA experience with the larger UUCB congregation.
