Hello WUUC Members,
The Board is looking for members interested in representing WUUC as a delegate at the
2023 General Assembly to be held June 21-25, 2022.
WUUC is eligible to send three delegates. Registration options are available for full virtual
(online) participation. The church will subsidize the entire $300 registration fee for virtual
participation. If you are interested in serving as a delegate or have questions, please email the
board at board@wuuc.org by April 17th.
Please remember as well that anyone, whether an official delegate or not, can attend GA. Further
information is given below.
The responsibilities of a WUUC delegate to General Assembly include the following:
1) Familiarizing yourself with the business items on the GA agenda and staying
adequately informed to make a knowledgeable voting decision,
2) Notifying the WUUC congregation of those items that require a delegate vote,
3) Attending GA business meetings and casting your delegate vote.
This year’s GA will be multi-platform, held online and in-person in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Virtual attendees will enjoy robust programming and enhanced delegate discussion tools. The
final business agenda is expected to be available to congregations by May 23, 2023. There will
be many opportunities to inform yourself about the business items on the agenda.
Registration options are available for in-person or virtual participation. In-person registration
includes events scheduled to take place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and everything available to
virtual registrants. Full virtual registration includes access to the GA app, as well as all on-
demand programming, live webinars, and live-streamed events. For voting delegates, there is
also a business-only virtual option. Although a delegate can register for the business-only virtual
option, we encourage assigned delegates to register for the full virtual experience. The church
will subsidize the full $300 registration fee for virtual participation, but we invite delegates
to return the subsidy to the church if they can. Complete registration information is available at
this link. https://www.uua.org/ga/registration
Virtual participation requires high-speed internet access and a desktop/laptop computer.
Smartphones and tablets can be used as supplemental screens for streaming video, voting, or
chatting, but they do not accommodate a complete user experience. You will also need a webcam
if you want to be seen during Zoom Sessions when speaking. Headphones are recommended.
Further information regarding being a delegate at the General Assembly can be found at
https://www.uua.org/ga/congregations/delegates. WUUC board member(s) will be available to
help you in any capacity where you may need assistance. Thank you for considering this
important task in service to our WUUC community.
In Community,
Terry Santmann, Secretary for the WUUC Board of Trustees
