NAUA Circles
NAUA Circles were established to create a welcoming platform for members and friends to connect, share interests, and foster community. These virtual gatherings serve as an alternative to traditional coffee hours, allowing participants to engage with a broader audience rather than just familiar faces.
Current Circle Offerings
Forum Circle: This Circle meets every Sunday afternoon (except for holiday and summer breaks) and focuses on topical or controversial societal issues. Participants receive readings a few days prior to each session, which begins with an overview before opening the floor for discussion. While initial topics are pre-selected, members will choose future subjects and lead discussions.
NAUA Conversation/Discussion Circle: This newly launched Circle will meet on the third Wednesday of each month (4:00-5:30 PM Pacific Time), beginning January 15th. This circle is designed for NAUA members and friends to gather, share ideas, spark meaningful conversations, and deepen connections. It will be facilitated by a member of the NAUA Board of Trustees, is open to all members and friends, and does not require an RSVP. The zoom link is: https://tinyurl.com/naua-circle.
