documents in English, French and Spanish, and we will also post them on the WBU website on the General Assembly page (link: ). We hope that you will take the time to review them in advance so that you can more effectively participate in the Assembly events. As was the case at the last two General Assemblies, we provide only a few of the documents in alternative formats at the Assembly event itself. These are documents that you would need to reference during the Assembly and include the program, financial statements, constitutional amendments, and the quadrennial budget. It has been our experience that these are the primary documents required at the Assembly and since all other reports are sent out in advance and are available in electronic formats that can be adapted into accessible formats at the local level, this presents a significant cost and time saving for us. We can of course also provide you with electronic copies of other documents that you might need at the Assembly itself.
