WILPF US President
Once again, on Tuesday, May 7, all WILPF US members are invited to call in to the monthly Program Committee conference call. The members of WILPF issue committees—the national bodies that focus on and put together our political work—will explore action plans for making WILPF an influential presence in election-year discussions.
The conference call on May 7 starts at 5 pm, Pacific Time / 8 pm, Eastern Time. See below for the details on registering for this call and how to call in. Preregistration—even minutes before calling in—is required.
With the planet at a climate tipping point, the outcomes of federal government budget proposals and the issue content of the 2020 electoral races will affect us profoundly. WILPF can play an important role in the development of national electoral campaign issues and a peace budget. In addition to our ongoing issue committees with their broad areas of concern, a new ad hoc committee will form to put together election year goals and strategies.
The Program Committee is the national body that bears the responsibility for setting the guidelines for issue committees and other program projects, making sure they are functioning, and determining how they should relate to members and branches. Additionally, Program Committee members think deeply about political and organizational momentum, long-term goals, process, and timelines.
In order to enable members to better understand and influence WILPF US program plans, the May 7 conference call is open to all WILPF members. We seek new Program Committee members! To learn more about the Program Committee or for further information on this call, contact Darien De Lu at president@wilpfus.org and (916) 739-0860.
How to Register and Call In
Here is the registration link for the program call. This call is on the first Tuesday, May 7, 2019, at 5 pm PST/8 pm EST.
After registering, you will receive two reminders from Michael@TeamGood.org; each includes your call-in information. The first reminder will arrive just 24 hours before the call, and the second will be two hours before the call (at 3 pm PST, 6 pm EST). Your individual pin number and a call-in number are included in these emails. (The emails also provide alternative call-in numbers, which some callers need when the primary call-in number does not recognize their pin numbers.)
