A critical step to establishing a thriving U3A is to learn about the organisation. Familiarise yourself with the material available on this website and research the network here in South Australia and nationally. A public meeting is usually held in the early stages of establishing a U3A to gauge community interest and willingness to be involved in the project. A representative from U3A South Australia can attend to provide support, guidance and help launch the project. Publicity at this stage is vital to ensure awareness and participation. Once key positions such as president, secretary, treasurer and committee members are filled you are well on your way to starting a successful U3A. Remember that the staff of U3A South Australia are always available to provide assistance.
