I'm interested in starting a group of Humanists in Northeast Ohio with the intention of becoming a chapter of the American Humanist Association. The goals of this group can't be defined until more progress is made in forming it, but some ideas include social and support activity, hosting speakers and authors, and perhaps some Humanist activism.
