National Consultative Committee (NCC)

 The National Consultative Committee (NCC) is an advisory committee comprised of Quakers from across the U.S.  Committee members are appointed by their respective Yearly Meetings.  Each Yearly Meeting is allowed 1-2 appointees.

 The Committee meets once a year, in early November, just prior to FCNL annual meeting. Our next NCC meeting will be on Wednesday evening 11/10 and Thursday morning 11/11/2010. 

 Appointees often also serve as members of the FCNL General Committee.  These “double duty” appointments enable yearly meetings to more easily afford travel costs.

 Duties

 NCC members serve as liaison between William Penn House and Yearly Meeting by:

• providing feedback from YM to WPH
• providing fresh eyes and ideas about WPH programs, events and facilities
• serving as the WPH voice to YM & meeting’s in their region by announcing WPH programs, seminars and Workcamps
• setting up a WPH display at YM annual session
• coordinating occasional visits of WPH staff and representatives to YM annual session
• encouraging college students to consider becoming a WPH intern after graduation

 The 2009 annual session will be held the first week of November. We provide hospitality at William Penn House on Wednesday with breakfast, program and lunch on Thursday. We coordinate our schedule with the FCNL.
