General Services Standing Committee
The Standing Committee on General Services has oversight of those administrative functions which enable the ministry of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting. These are the services necessary to run the organization in order to support and make possible the work of the other Standing Committees. These functions include accounting and audit, fund development and stewardship of funds, grant coordination and financial assistance, computer services, records and archives, personnel services and staff benefits, conference management (including planning for and managing Yearly Meeting in session), and property management.
