"Intersectionalities"

The 2019 MidAmerica Regional Assembly is coming sooner than you think! This year, our RA will be held in St. Louis, Missouri, at the Marriott St Louis, April 5-7, 2019.

The theme is “Intersectionalities”—how we live, work, and relate, as well as share, withhold, and leverage power in our world.  Presentations and workshops will explore identities we encounter and embody, the challenges of social inequality, and tools and skills we need in order to work more effectively with one another, as well as the general “nuts and bolts” of congregational life, such as leadership, stewardship, membership, and religious education. Our Keynote Presenter will be UUA President, Susan Frederick-Gray. Join us to explore, share, and worship with fellow Unitarian Universalists.

Location: Marriott St Louis Airport in St. Louis, Missouri.

• Room rates $105/night
• Free shuttle from airport, parking and internet
• Link to rapid transit to downtown St. Louis.

Accessibility and Inclusion Issues in Congregational Life

Opening our doors to people of all abilities is the less talked about test of inclusion in our congregations. This webinar discusses “disability etiquette” and explores the many ways in which our congregations can be more accessible and more welcoming to people with a variety of disabilities.

An opportunity for new presidents to learn the basics, share some resources, and network with those moving into the role.
