As we prepare for the American Ethical Union’s 110th Annual Assembly, we invite you to join us for some important pre-Assembly meetings. Delegates should plan to attend these meetings scheduled for the month of July as we lead into the Assembly from July 25-27, 2025. At these meetings, we will share information, questions will be answered, and attendees can even assist in providing feedback for several bylaw amendments. While all delegates are not required to attend all of these meetings, we encourage you to provide representation, especially for topics of special interest to your society.

In addition, these meetings are open to all AEU members, not just for delegates. Please register for each meeting separately on Zoom and the link will be emailed to you. If you are unable to attend any of these meetings, they will be recorded and the link will be shared so you may view it later.

We look forward to seeing you, either in person or virtually, at the Assembly Business Meeting on Saturday, July 26, at 9:00 AM Eastern Time. You may register on Eventbrite here for the conference to attend in person or as a virtual attendee and will have the opportunity to attend enriching workshops. If you would like to attend ONLY the Business Meeting where the voting and Assembly business is addressed, please register on Zoom here.

Please direct any questions about delegates and voting at the Assembly to delegate-support@aeu.org.
