The Multicultural Audit Steering Committee (MASC), as known as “The People’s Committee, had the daunting task of creating an RFP, from no template, creed, Vision Statement, study, and/or strategic plan. In under one year, under the director of a Spirit-led Clerk, we, the MASC, created an RFP that aims to examine the counterculture that is Quakerism. We are excited to bring you this Fruit of Collaboration and Creativity!
