The MidAmerica Regional Assembly and UUA General Assembly are both right around the corner. Each congregation is able to register members as delegates to represent and vote within the gatherings. UUCM can send 4 voting delegates in addition to 2 staff spots, filled by Rev. Lisa and Karen Heuiser.

UUCM is introducing a new repeatable process around delegates, including recruiting delegates, a new interest form to complete and financial assistance as needed. We would love for more people to get involved in our Democratic process, especially with the proposed revision of Article II vote happening this summer at GA. 

The MidAmerica Regional Assembly is being held April 19^th and 20^th in Madison, Wisconsin both in person and virtually. The cost is a sliding scale from $50-$200. The deadline to sign up is April 12.

GA will be held June 20^th -23^rd as an exclusively virtual event. The registration fee is $280 if you sign up before March 15^th, $315 through May 15, and $400 after May 15th.  A business only sign up is available for voting delegates with no set fee, but they do suggest a donation to help offset production costs. 

Each meeting will offer business meetings, lectures, and content. GA also has a Sunday morning service. Those selected as our voting delegates will meet with Rev. Lisa in advance for information on what to expect and answer any questions you have. Those who would like to participate in a non-official capacity can still participate as a registered guest. 

Because we don’t want the cost to prohibit your potential participation, a stipend will be available to split among those who need the assistance. In addition, we will look for opportunities for non-registered folks to participate during the week in a group setting here at the church. 

If you’re interested, please fill out our delegate sign up form here. Please reach out to Rev. Lisa or Shelley Buss if you have any questions.
