{UAH} For presenters, Ambassadors and others who are coming to the UNAA Convention in Boston this coming September
Fellow Ugandans,
If the politics have gotten you down like a good number of us, I'm here to say that there are other pursuits in life that are much more fluid and perhaps worth a lot more to our people than Ugandan politics. I urge you to come to Boston this coming labor day weekend to the UNAA convention!
Try wearing your non -political hat or keep your old one if you may- it would be great to begin placing value, resonance and emphasis on new nation building facades that have not been explored!
Truth be told politicking takes 85% of our time, much to the peril of other societal demands and as some would argue - we have not made quantum leaps with it, so why should we continue throwing so much time at it!.
Make no mistake the the Political, Business, social, Medical and Ingenuity -forums are going to be buzzing in Boston! Folks would like to hear about progress being made in Northern Uganda -so the Northern Uganda forum -is going to be running!
We also wanted to hear from our Rwenzururu brothers and sisters -much as we don't have a conflict resolution team -it is always a good idea to talk about these conflicts in a neutral environment - you just never know what comes out of these UNAA conventions!

We are still looking for good UNAA ambassadors-those who truly believe in this pie in the sky ideal of togetherness and indeed in the Idea that by convening as we have done in the past decades with other Ugandans from all walks of life, religious and political affiliations - is in itself great progress!
I urge folks to check with the UNAA registry to see whether you are the UNAA designated Ambassador for your county!

What does it really mean being a UNAA Ambassador in terms of dollars and cents, -despite the prestige of being one - you and the folks you are coming with get some negotiated discount off the registration fee! It gets better - you get called and recognized upfront -when all eyes are gazing upon you and above all you promote this worthy cause of UNAA!
For those among us who are ready to Present please submit your intentions and papers-before the end of this month -that will give folks who are printing convention material a chance to include your topic and names onto the Program!
