Building a Humanist and Secular Coalition
For years, HFA members, as they complete their survey forms at the close of a conference, have expressed that “building a statewide progressive coalition” is their top priority. The April 30-May 2, 2010 conference in Sarasota at the brand new Holiday Inn Conference Center next to the Sarasota Airport will not be HFA’s conference alone.
It will be the first-ever in the state, if not the nation, sponsored by a variety of groups from atheists to Unitarian Universalists in Florida that are interested in promoting freethought, scientific inquiry, critical thinking and Humanism.
Some examples of what you might expect at the 2010 conference are sessions relevant to:
· Learning about understanding and improving the human condition from the Evolution Institute
- Raising freethinkers
- Attracting young families to your group
- Meeting people that share your values
- Enjoying life more through critical thinking
- Creating a community of like-minded people
- Becoming a part of the political action nationally and in Florida
- David Sloan Wilson, co-director of the Evolution Institute
- Amanda Metskas, coauthor of Raising Freethinkers & executive director of Camp Quest
- Steven Schafersman, respected author on critical thinking & president of Texas Citizens for Science
- Lauren Becker, Vice President of OUtreach at the Center for Inquiry
- Sean Faircloth, executive director of Secular Coalition of America
- Ana Lita, Founding Director of the AHA's Appignani Bioethics Center
