The Yearly Meeting
comprises the members of its constituent Monthly Meetings who come
together annually to explore and
pursue their common purposes. The work of the Yearly Meeting is
conducted by its committees and corporately during the annual
gathering, which is also referred to as the Yearly Meeting session.
While the Yearly Meeting’s officers and committees broadly parallel
those of a Monthly Meeting, additional officers and committees are
responsible for the conduct of the annual gathering. Further
discussion of the organization of Yearly Meeting appears in Part
VI.
