How Humanists International Makes Decisions At The Global Level - Guide to the General Assembly

Sign up for the Humanists International Newsletter https://humanists.international/sign-up-for-the-newsletter/ With less than a week to go before the World Humanist Congress in Ottawa, Gary McLelland and Leon Langdon step back from interviews to do something different: build an evergreen guide to how Humanists International's General Assembly actually works. The idea came from a board meeting where HI decided to use the podcast to create resources that will remain useful long after any particular news cycle. This episode is designed for delegates heading to Ottawa and for anyone joining the movement who wants to understand how a humanist voice becomes global humanist policy.
