General Assembly Scheduled Programming

The General Assembly (GA) schedule has much to offer. We are pleased to present this new feature on UUA.org: the full program in a searchable, sortable format. We are still adding and refining functions and will appreciate your feedback at meetingplanner @ uua.org.

The 2010 schedule will be made available in March.

The 2009 programming schedule is listed below. Please bear in mind that all events are subject to change or cancellation.

Use the Keyword Search to search for programming by speaker or subject (for example, justice, peace, or Guengerich). Use quotation marks to look for “exact phrases.”
