Communication with Yearly Meeting Staff

When PYM Friends speak of "Yearly Meeting," they may mean one or more things. "Yearly Meeting" can refer to the full community of members throughout the Delaware Valley (and somewhat beyond). Or it can refer to the annual sessions in which we come together to worship and do business on behalf of that full community. Or it can refer to the committees and working groups that we form to season and conduct our business on an ongoing basis. Or it can refer to the employees who provide day-by-day support of all the other forms of "Yearly Meeting."


Most of these employees can be found during business hours at Friends Center, an office complex in downtown Philadelphia, but they are also often found on evenings or weekends in committee meetings, information programs, meetings for worship — out in the midst of Yearly Meeting. Click here to find out how to contact volunteers on standing committees and their working groups.

Philadelphia Yearly Meeting staff telephone numbers that begin with 215-241 may be reached by dialing 1-800-2200-PYM (1-800-220-0796). This toll-free service is provided by the Yearly Meeting to encourage contact by Friends who live so far from Philadelphia that it's a toll call. It will speed your call if you are prepared to enter the last four digits of the staff member's number from a touch-tone phone. PYM pays for each call placed. Please telephone the recipient at the Yearly Meeting office when sending a fax. The fax machine is not monitored continuously, so the recipient may not receive the fax for many hours unless you call.


The email addresses below can help you contact people on staff who might be able to help you with a specific topic or concern. This list is organized by function. Some individuals are listed more than once. Click on "PYM Staff at Friends Center" to see staff list alone.
