What does the national WILPF Board address at its meetings? As WILPF US President, I, Darien De Lu, invite you to find out by calling in to the conference call meetings, which take place every other month. WILPF members can hear the discussion and, at the end of the meeting, make brief comments and/or ask questions. The next call will be held Tuesday, March 19, at 5:30 pm (PST)/8:30 pm (EST).
To get the call-in information and other items for meetings, please email your request to secretary@wilpfus.org. Meetings are scheduled for the following 2019 dates, at 5:30 pm Pacific Standard Time (PST) / 8:30 pm Eastern Standard Time (EST), for one and a half to two hours:

List of 2018 Board Decisions/Minutes Now Available
WILPF US Board decisions reflect our goals and principles. I, Eileen Kurkoski, am the WILPF US Secretary, and for the first time in many years, I have compiled a summary of the 2018 WILPF US Board decisions. That summary is now available, along with the board minutes, here. In that section, the board minutes appear below the board member information, and I am also providing some committee reports there, for context and clarity.
I have had the pleasure of being the national Secretary since January 2018 (and the Boston Branch Secretary for three years). I find these WILPF roles very helpful for learning what is going on in WILPF. As national Secretary and a WILPF US board member, I can provide input in decision-making.
If you’d like more information about national volunteer opportunities, please email Info@WILPFUS.org. And, as noted above, the WILPF US Secretary is the one to contact if you would like to be a guest at any of the board meetings: secretary@wilpfus.org.
In these ways, you can follow the WILPF US Board and stay updated on what is happening nationally.
