You are invited to a Re-Launch Gathering of the Jane Adams Branch!
You are receiving this special invitation because, in our recent survey, you expressed interest in becoming a member of a virtual branch of WILPF US "at large" members. We are ready to launch--or, more precisely, relaunch--the Jane Addams Branch.
Nearly 40 members indicated interest in joining the branch! Now it's time to organize ourselves--that is, decide what we will do and how we will do it. We can simply be a support group for scattered members, we can take on a project based on common interests, or anything in between. We'll need to decide how and when to have our virtual meetings. Naturally, structure and leadership of our branch must soon be on the agenda.
But the first step is getting to know each other. To that end, we're calling for our first virtual meeting.
In order to engage as many as possible, we're suggesting two
identical meetings. You can join whichever is most convenient for you (or both!)
Tuesday, June 18, 2019
2pm Pacific/3pm Mountain/4pm Central/5pm Eastern
and
Wednesday, June 19, 2019
5pm Pacific/6pm Mountain/7pm Central/8pm Eastern
Our agenda will be simple: Who, Why, What?
- Who are you? What brought you to WILPF US?
- Why are you interested in the Jane Addams Branch?
- What might we do together as a WILPF US Branch?
This will be a Zoom meeting: Prior to the dates, we will send a number to call with a meeting code, and those who choose will be able to join the meeting on their computers by clicking a link we'll send. The advantage of Zoom technology is that we'll be able to see each other. Please watch your email for details.
Thank you for your interest in advancing peace and justice through your participation in our new branch!
