Shift toward regionalization aims to create greater connections among congregations.

The first of the Unitarian Universalist Association’s 19 districts are just weeks away from becoming a region.
On April 27, delegates at the Central Midwest District annual meeting voted to give up their district structure and become the MidAmerica Region in company with the Prairie Star and Heartland districts.
Delegates in the Prairie Star and Heartland districts had voted earlier in April in favor of regionalization. At all three meetings, the votes were overwhelmingly in favor.
Heartland Delegates Approve Regionalization
The delegates to the Heartland District Annual Meeting have voted overwhelmingly in support of authorizing regionalization. This is the second of three votes, with the Prairie Star District voting unanimously in favor on April 6th, and Central Midwest District will vote on April 27.
The delegates at the Prairie Star District Annual Meeting also voted to transfer Camp UniStar to the newly forming Camp UniStar Foundation. This summer, any first-time campers from either Heartland or Central Midwest Districts will receive a 10% discount.
