BOARD OF DIRECTORS - ELECTION NOV 7

As a lay-led community, Wayfarers relies on the generosity of our members of the heart to step up and serve on the Board of Directors. The Board is the group that tends to daily operations as well as arranges speakers, musicians, and special events. They are the ones who set our direction and ensure we are meeting our core values of Inclusion, Love, Health, Gratitude, and Service.


Service on the Board is a two-year term. The Board meets at least quarterly and as is necessary to tend to business. Board members also host services and share the responsibilities for ensuring things get done. If you would like to volunteer to serve on the Board please contact a current Board member. (Please see Board Contact Information section below).

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

“The story of life is quicker than the wink of an eye,
