General Assembly is about community. Connecting with old friends and new is so much more than a cliché.
2016 General Assembly
A Proxy Assembly
It was an itchy assembly. Lots of scratching; little relief. One commissioner said it was “sound and fury, signifying nothing.” Another called it “confusing.” Several wondered if anything had “actually happened.” The most common word used was “proxy.”
2016 General Assembly Decisions
