The Steering Committee is made up of at-large members and Yearly Meeting Representatives, nominated by their respective yearly meetings.
If you are part of a Quaker meeting or church that is affiliated with QEW, please consider talking to your yearly meeting’s nominating committee to express your interest.
If you’re not affiliated with a Yearly Meeting or if your yearly meeting isn’t affiliated with QEW, you can become an at-large member. Please let us know if you are interested!
The Steering Committee meets twice a year and is responsible for attending to the activities and affairs of the organization, approving policies and priorities, and approving a budget. Steering Committee members are asked to serve on at least one committee and working group.
