Guide to Procedures

The Guide to Procedures describes the operations of Intermountain Yearly Meeting. Some of the procedures described in the Guide are specified by minuted action of the Yearly Meeting and other procedures are based upon practices that the Yearly Meeting has found to be successful. The Guide attempts to provide a description of what people in the Yearly Meeting have grown to expect from its officers and committees. (Note: The name of the Guide was changed to "Guide to Procedures" by action of the Executive Committee Minute EC 07-08 (9/15/07).) For more information about the Guide or if you have suggestions, please contact Cynthia Smith, Clerk of the Guide Committee, at cjs@manzanasprings.com. NOTE THE PRINT BUTTON in the lower right corner of each page. Pages can also be directly downloaded by copying and pasting the text into your own word processor. (March 2010)
