Friends’ Decision-Making and Clerking: Participating in Meetings for Business with Joy and Confidence

This is an opportunity for both new and experienced clerks of Friends’ meetings and committees to meet and think together about the role of presiding clerk. It is expected that each person will leave the weekend with new energy and enthusiasm for being a clerk, feeling well grounded in both the theoretical and the practical. There will be handouts mailed ahead of time to participants to follow along during the program, exercises, and opportunities to share experiences, with most work being done in a whole group setting.

This program is capped at 40 participants. Registration deadline is noon on November 2nd.

This program will be online via Zoom and will follow this schedule:
Friday: 4pm-5:30pm, 7:30pm-9pm
Saturday: 9:30am-11am, 1pm-2:30pm, 4pm-5:30pm, 7:30pm-9:00pm
Sunday: 9:30am-11am
