PYM Standing Committees
PYM needs you! There is great work being done by our Yearly Meeting working groups. But we always need people to serve as adminstrators of that work. This requires special gifts of time and experience. But the rewards are great. There is a process that the Nominating Committee goes through to find people for standing committees. You must be a member of a Monthly Meeting in Philadelphia Yearly Meeting and have experience with Quaker discernment practices. Though you might not be asked to serve on a standing committee, the Nominating Committee might suggest you join one of our many working groups. Click on the title above for more information.
