UU Delegate?

[popelaksmi]

Has anyone reading this volunteered as a UU delegate for their congregation? I was considering doing so but thought I would get some insight from someone who'd done it before first.

I did it once. TBH, I don't recommend it if it's your first GA. You need to miss a lot of cool sessions to be in the business sessions, or whatever they're called. Do it on your second GA, or if there's an issue on the table that you care passionately about. Otherwise you'll feel you missed out on the fun stuff.

JMO. Democracy is great, but can be dull to sit through.

I understand the gist of what your saying but can you please clarify what the acronym GA stands for?

Oh, I'm sorry. General Assembly. I assumed that's where you were considering being a delegate to.

Ahh, OK, that must be similar to an Annual General Meeting (AGM), or in this specific case, the Canadian Unitarian Council's Annual Conference and Meeting (CUC-ACM).

They both appear to have "fun" and "less fun" activities. ;)
