This is a listing of all Pacific Yearly Meeting committees and personnel (officers, appointees, committee members and delegates). Most recent update: 2021-09-18, reflecting appointments for the 2021-2022 committee year. This is still being reviewed for accuracy and may contain errors (we hope not many).
Simplified PDF version for printing. Links to rosters for prior years can be found on the Nominating Committee page.
Getting Involved: If you would like to participate in the work of PacYM, visit our Get Involved page.
Legend: The date to the left of each name in the Roster is the year the current appointment expires (at the end of that year’s annual session unless otherwise indicated). Each name is followed by the individual’s monthly meeting or worship group, and, in parentheses, the year of initial appointment. Committee clerk and delegation convener appointments are for one year. Vacant positions are indicated by an underscore __ next to the term-expiration year. Links are given for those committees with a dedicated webpage on this site (the nature of the landing page varies by committee). For a more compact listing of committees and their webpages, see PYM Committee and Officer Pages.
