While North Pacific Yearly Meeting is a regional organization whose members are local "monthly meetings", there are several other regional organizations within NPYM, which meet on a more or less quarterly basis:

• Willamette Quarterly Meeting
• Pacific Northwest Quarterly Meeting
• Montana Gathering of Friends

North Pacific Yearly Meeting functions largely through the work of various committees. The primary committee which conducts the major business of NPYM throughout the year is the Steering Committee. Steering Committee consists of representatives from each monthly meeting, and meets approximately every two months.

During Annual Session, Meetings for Worship for the Conduct of Business are facilitated by the Clerk of NPYM, assisted by other officers.

There are many opportunities for service within NPYM. Check the job descriptions if you are interested in serving the yearly meeting.

More information about the Friends way of conducting business can be found in our book of Faith and Practice, which is currently undergoing revision.

NOTE:  The Ad Hoc Visioning & Structure Committee has made some recommendations for changing the structure of NPYM. Download their report here in Word or pdf format.
