Representation at ‘continuing’ Yearly Meeting

The afternoon began with Siobhán Haire, deputy recording clerk for Britain Yearly Meeting (BYM), introducing Sarah Donaldson, who talked about proposals for managing representation at the new ‘continuing’ Yearly Meeting (YM) sessions. Sarah Donaldson is a new member of BYM’s management team: the senior change leader in Quaker governance. ‘A big part of that is ensuring the transition to continuing YM goes well,’ Friends were told.
