Guide to Procedures

The Guide to Procedures describes the operations of Intermountain Yearly Meeting, and what IMYM Friends can expect from our officers and committees. Some of the procedures described in the Guide arose from minuted action of the Yearly Meeting, while others developed over time as successful practices. To ask questions or make suggestions about the Guide, please e-mail Dave Nachman (Tempe MM), Clerk of the Committee on Procedures, through DFNachman@netscape.net.
