10:00 AM – 3:15 PM on Zoom
RSVP (Register) BELOW
The Quaker Voice Annual Meeting is the moment before a new legislative session begins to gather, conduct a little business, and prepare ourselves for what is coming. This year, the meeting will be entirely online.
In this format, we are giving each working group a time slot. As an attender, you can choose to go to one, two, or all three. Your voice is welcome in all.
The working groups are using their time to introduce others to their focus areas, identify the bills they are most interested in so far for this session, and get input from the general membership about priorities. We strongly urge everyone to review our Testimonies and Issue Areas ahead of the meeting, to give the broader context for the specific things the working groups are doing.
The times indicated are when the session will start. Clerks will leave time at the end of each slot for a short break.
