{UAH} Calling all Cities: Apply today to host the 2020 UNAA Convention

UNAA Leaders.

I have a bit of a problem with this request for proposals.  One of the long time goals of the UNAA convention is to give UNAA members the opportunity to travel to different parts of North America and thus make the organization more inclusive.  So far, California, Illinois, Massachusets and Texas have each hosted a UNAA convention 3 times while there are many other states who have not hosted one even once.  Past conventions in states like Nevada, Florida and Louisiana have already proven that a host city does not have to have a large Uganda community to host a successful UNAA convention.

As such, I would like to ask you folks to consider taking the convention to some state and city where it has never been held.  Possible attractive destinations include Charleston (North Carolina), Birmingham (Alabama), Nashville (Tennessee), Indianapolis (Indiana), Pittsburg (Pennsylvania), Kansas City (Missouri), or any of the many other worthy cities out there.  As a long shot, maybe even somewhere in Hawaii.

Regards.

Moses Wilson
