Sponsoring Programmed Events at GA
Applying for GA Planning Committee Sponsored Program Slots
The General Assembly (GA) Planning Committee invites your program proposals for the 2010 General Assembly in Minneapolis, MN.
The GA Planning Committee is seeking innovative programs and distinguished speakers that will appeal to many Unitarian Universalists (UUs) attending GA. We invite you to submit proposals for:
- Workshops
- Worship services
- Lectures
- Panel presentations and discussions
- Performances (with minimal technical requirements)
We will be selecting programs that reflect our Association's anti-racist, anti-oppressive, multicultural, and multigenerational commitments and programming that will serve the needs of our congregations.
If your program is sponsored by the GA Planning Committee, you will be provided with a 75-minute program slot, a listing in the GA printed program, a meeting room with a lectern and microphone, audience microphone and a projection screen. In cases of particularly noteworthy programming, the Planning Committee may grant additional financial support to supplement the proposers’ own funding.
Who Should Apply? Congregations, UU-related organizations, community groups and UU individuals with something to share.
Deadline: All applications for Planning Committee sponsorship must be received by Thursday, October 15, 2009 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern. Notifications will be made by email in mid to late November. Application Guidelines (PDF, 2 pages)
