Governance at General Assembly

The Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) Board of Trustees leads the governance process each year at General Assembly (GA). Please check back here regularly for updates as they become available.

Final Agenda Now Available!

In accordance with the UUA Bylaws and Rules, Section 4.11, the Final Business Agenda (PDF) has been posted 30 days before the start of General Assembly (May 15, 2026.)

Business Mini Assembly

The mini-assembly, which will be recorded for later viewing, is part of the General Assembly preparation process and provides an opportunity for delegates to learn more about items on the GA agenda prior to General Assembly business sessions. This year, no proposed amendments to the business items were received by the deadline. Therefore, amendments will not be part of the mini-assembly discussion. And this year, non-delegates are invited to participate in this educational mini assembly!
The mini-assembly will include:
  • an overview of the proposed Rules of Procedure for GA 2026,
  • discussion of the proposed bylaw amendment,
  • discussion of the proposed business resolution,
  • and an opportunity for delegate questions, comments, and discussion.
Mini assemblies are intended to support informed, thoughtful, and accessible deliberation prior to General Assembly. No votes will be taken during the mini-assembly. A registration link may be found below in and in the Delegate Platform.
