Steering Committee

The Steering Committee shall consist of:  

  • Up to two representatives appointed by each interested Monthly or Preparative Meeting affiliated with the Pacific Northwest Quarter of North Pacific Yearly Meeting and located in Washington State.
  • One representative appointed by each interested Worship Group similarly located and affiliated.
  • Such individual at-large members as shall be appointed by the members of the Steering Committee, provided, that the number of at-large members appointed shall be less than the total number of representatives appointed by meetings and worship groups at the time of their appointment.

All representatives appointed by meetings and worship groups and at-large members shall be members of the Religious Society of Friends or current, long-time attenders of a meeting for worship of the Religious Society of Friends. 

Meetings of the Steering Committee shall be held as necessary, and at least once annually. Traditionally, Steering Committee meetings have been held three times a year: on Friday evenings of each of the two Quarterly Meeting at Lazy F Ranch near Ellensburg and once near the beginning of the legislative session in January, often in Olympia.
