Steering Committee for 2020
We are currently under the fiscal sponsorship of the Episcopal Diocese of Olympia and are working closely with them on next steps for our development. We have transitioned to a steering committee to govern the organization this coming year and to shepherd us in the process of separate incorporation. We are combining Episcopal Church polity and best practices for worker owned non-profits. We will elect a Board of Directors when this process is finished. We are working to build a model that encourages the people who do the work to have a role in the decision making of the organization.
