AMERICAN ETHICAL UNION 100th ANNUAL ASSEMBLY

Sheraton Stamford Hotel, Stamford, CT

Creating a Sustainable Future ETHICS AND ADVOCACY

The American Ethical Union invites all members, friends, and guests to join together for our 100th Assembly as we create a more sustainable future for our Movement and for the world. Ours is the first generation that can end poverty, and the last that can take steps to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. The United Nations prepared Sustainable Development Goals to fight against extreme poverty, strive towards more equitable economic growth and environmental sustainability, and reduce the dangers of human-induced climate change. Our 100th Assembly will include experts on social, environmental, and economic development to educate us on the many ways we can protect our world for future generations. During each Assembly, we gather to experience and celebrate the Movement as we connect with Ethical Culturists / Ethical Humanists throughout the country. It is an exciting opportunity to learn from each other through workshops on ethical living and by sharing resources amongst members of all Societies.

VOLUNTEER AWARD LUNCHEON & AEU SONGBOOK LAUNCH

Presenter: Richard Koral, President, AEU Board of Directors

The American Ethical Union and its Societies depend on the volunteer time and monetary commitment of their members who work “behind the scenes” on programs and events. Their ideas, proposals, and especially their hard work help their congregations flourish, and can nourish programs at other Ethical Societies and the AEU. The recipients of this award were nominated by their Societies in recognition of their many years of voluntary service to the Ethical Culture Movement. We will also celebrate the launch of the AEU Songbook. 1:30pm - 3:00pm WORKSHOP SESSION I

1. Growing and Sustaining Ethical Education for Children Lea Bender, Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture; Melissa Sinclair, Washington Ethical Society; Sabine Salandy, Ethical Culture Society of Bergen Society; Paul Chiariello, Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture

Want to develop an ethical education program for children at your Society? Or expand your current program? Come learn from some of our talented Directors and gain the resources you need.

2. Appreciative Inquiry: An Ethical Practice of Collaborative Change Anne Klaeysen, Leader New York Society for Ethical Culture

We often focus on what is wrong or broken and try to fix it. Another way is to look for what is best in people, relationships, and organizations, and participate in a process of discovering what enlivens us when we are most effective, capable and engaged. Learn about a practice that puts ethics into action by eliciting the best in others and ourselves, a practice that uses cooperation, not competition.

3. Attracting Young Adults to Ethical Culture Societies Liz Collier, AEU Mossler Fellow and guests

Liz Collier has been the recipient of the AEU Mossler Fellowship for the last two years, researching what attracts young adults to congregations and how we can make our Ethical Societies more welcoming to younger generations. She will present on her research and hands-on work at several Ethical Societies. With the help of guests from the Ethical Societies that have been working with Liz, she will offer practical steps your Ethical Society can take to become a more welcoming community for younger people.

4. Ethical Aging

Liz Singer, New York Society for Ethical Culture

With life expectancy pushing 85+ and older people in good health, we experience great possibilities and challenges. Our aging populations will need to be supported by new structures, policies, and outreach activities. What role can Ethical Societies play for members and surrounding communities? 3:15pm - 4:45pm WORKSHOP SESSION II

1. Caring Economics Jone Johnson Lewis, Leader Riverdale-Yonkers & Brooklyn Societies for Ethical Culture

A more caring and just economy is essential for a more democratic, compassionate, just and sustainable world. But we measure economic success by factors that don't take into account compassion and justice. Caring work is often the worst paid work, and much caring that's essential to support human thriving is not even counted in economic measures. Learn how you and your Ethical Society can foster conversations helping people to see economic success differently, and learn what public

policy changes have been proposed by experts to further a caring and just economy.

2. Tips from the Trenches

Presidents Council facilitated by Jackie Simms, Ethical Humanist Society of Asheville, and Emil Volcheck, Baltimore Ethical Society

Sharing information and brainstorming across Societies is fundamental to the future growth of the Ethical Culture Movement. In this workshop, Society officers report on initiatives, best practices, and challenges they encountered. Topics include (1) when ex-offenders apply for membership, (2) helping members who experience financial hardship, (3) organizing scouting activities with Navigators USA, and (4) committee management and oversight.

3. Promoting Ethical and Spiritual Growth in Small Groups Arthur Dobrin, Leader Emeritus

The work of building an ethical community is done in personal relationships. We need time to practice what we learn in the classes we take on nonviolent communication, appreciative inquiry, and congregational development. Small group experiences provide an environment to do this and to reflect upon our behavior. Colloquy, invented by Arthur Dobrin, with its format of shared reflection, music and parables, is a mainstay at several societies. Deepening Ethical Circles also provides an opportunity for people to explore ethical dilemmas and share personal stories.

4. Stop Planting Trees! (And Build a Real Sustainable Community) Curt Collier, Leader New York Society for Ethical Culture

The foundations of sustainability include environmental awareness, a commitment to work long term, and the courage to use policy to help bring about real change. But, just as important, there is a correlation between real environmental restoration and the strength of the community facing those challenges. The Ethical Culture way of life is supremely suited to foster a sustainable community; you simply need to join hands with heart. Participants will be given an assessment tool for evaluating their communities’ capacity to take on conservation work and step-by-step instructions on how to foster stewardship through community engagement. Turn your Society into a conservation powerhouse by following these simple principals.

Our speaker this year will speak on the Sustainable Development Goals and how we can achieve them. 1:45pm – 3:15pm WORKSHOP SESSION III

1. The Ethical and Financial Imperatives for Fossil Fuel Divestment Lisa DiCaprio, Sierra Club and 350NYC

The presentation will focus on three main aspects of the fossil fuel divestment campaign: the moral/ethical

reasons for divestment, the financial impact of divestment, and how institutional investors can divest and reinvest in the green infrastructure and clean technologies that will facilitate the transition to a new, green economy.

2. Stir it up! Grassroots Organizing for Change Juanita Lewis, Community Voices Heard

Juanita Lewis, Lead Organizer for the grassroots organization Community Voices Heard in Westchester County, NY will lead participants through the steps for outreach, recruitment, and playful action for inciting positive and sustained change in our communities.

3. Neighbors Link – Educate, Empower, and Employ Adam Rabinovitch, Deputy Director Neighbors Link Network

The mission of Neighbors Link is to "strengthen the whole community by actively enhancing the healthy integration of immigrants." Staff and volunteers accomplish this by providing education and employment opportunities to immigrants. Their programs include English-language classes, parenting workshops, academic support for children, computer and financial literacy classes, and a worker center for day laborers and employers. "It’s a huge challenge for someone to learn the language, study hard, raise a family, and hold down three different jobs. But we see parents in unbelievable numbers trying to understand how our school system works and how to be a part of it," says Carola Otero Bracco, Executive Director.

4. Consumer Well-Being and

Environmental Well-Being: a Surprising Compatibility Miriam Tatzel PhD, SUNY Empire State College

Dr. Tatzel's research has focused on psychological aspects of money and materialism in relation to consumer lifestyles and well-being. Although conventional wisdom describes the demands of sustainable living in terms of self-denial, abnegation and reduced expectations, in fact there is a clear and demonstrable compatibility between simpler living and greater happiness and well-being. By reviewing modern research in happiness studies and positive psychology, Dr. Tatzel shows that lifestyles with less materialistic goals as well as lower environmental impacts bring deeper and richer life experiences.

3:30pm - 5:00pm WORKSHOP SESSION IV

1. The Gift Circle: A Space for Weaving Relationship Helen Zuman, co-founder of the Brooklyn Gift Circle

The mainstream economy goads us to spend more and more while leaving us hungry for joy, health, and connection. The Gift Circle invites us to join a flow of generosity that meets needs without money. In this workshop, we’ll discuss how gifting supports Earth-care; how the Brooklyn Gift Circle has evolved in partnership with the Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture; and how and why to start a Gift Circle in your home community. We’ll also hold a Gift Circle of our own (in which we each state requests and offers and expresses gratitude), primarily for the purpose of gaining familiarity with the form. If you like, you may consider in advance what you might give or receive at a distance; what you might give or receive within the temporary community of the Assembly; and what deeper needs and bigger gifts have gone unrecognized in your life. For more on the Gift Circle and its underpinnings, please visit http://brooklyngiftcircle.wordpress.com and http://sacred-economics.com.

2. Environmental/Climate Justice – What Is It, Who Needs It, and How Can I Help? Pat Almonrode, 350NYC

A discussion of environmental/climate justice concerns on the local, national, and international level, focusing on the extent to which such concerns are being considered in the negotiations leading up to the COP 21 in Paris.

3. Worker Cooperatives – Past, Present, and

Future Noémi Giszpenc, Cooperative Development Institute’s Executive Director

A worker cooperative is a business entity that is owned and controlled by the people who work in it. Today, one of the best-kept secrets in this country is the growing economy of worker cooperatives and democratic workplaces. Thousands of people work in them, thousands more patronize them. They are a growing and hopeful part of a movement to go not just against but also beyond the corporate model of exploitation and abandonment, to create a real economic alternative for people who need good jobs the most. Walk into any worker co-op and you'll immediately sense the difference: the workers look happy to be working there, they are committed to the business as owners, and the

business itself is often connected to the local community in a significant way. Learn about the history of worker cooperatives, how they operate today, and how you can start, join and support a worker cooperative.

4. Theater of the Oppressed - NYC

Katy Rubin, Founding Artistic Director of TONYC & troupe members

Theatre of the Oppressed is an interactive, physical, and playful tool used to investigate situations in which we are denied our basic rights, personally and collectively. We use theatrical debate, through games and scenes, to uncover the many possible alternatives to these real life challenges. By imagining and rehearsing solutions together onstage, we prepare ourselves to take action offstage. Theatre of the Oppressed training and performance is designed to empower the participants to become catalysts for change in their own lives and communities.

5:15pm - 6:00pm: AEU Business Issues – Discussion Session Presented by: AEU Board & Finance Committee Have comments or questions about the issues you will be offered for voting/approval at this year's Assembly? This is an open session giving you the opportunity to share your concerns with members of the AEU Board and Finance Committee. (Please note that there will be limited discussion of these issues from the floor during voting, so this is your opportunity to share your thoughts.) 6:00pm - 7:00pm: AEU RECEPTION – MEET & GREET WITH DONORS, BOARD, AND STAFF Meet and mingle with new and old friends in a relaxing atmosphere - a cash bar will be made available for your convenience and pleasure. Take the opportunity to introduce yourself to the AEU board members and staff - they sure would like to meet you! 7:00pm - 8:00pm: ELLIOTT-BLACK DINNER 8:00pm - 9:00pm: ELLIOTT-BLACK AWARD CEREMONY HONORING DR. SANDRA STEINGRABER Dr. Steingraber is a biologist, writer, and climate activist who writes about climate change, ecology, and the links between human health and the environment.
