Welcome to the FGC Discussion Board for Central Committee! Advance Documents for FGC Central Committee -- Part Two

TO:     Members of FGC Central Committee, invited members of FGC Committees, and appointed observers
FROM: Frank Barch, Presiding Clerk, Friends General Conference
RE:     Central Committee meeting, October 25-28, 2018

Dear Central Committee Friends,

Welcome, dear Friends, to the official opening of the FGC discussion board! This is a follow-on to the letter from me that Susan Lee distributed on 8/23/18. I invite you to visit https://fgc.matrixlms.com sign-in and explore. (Click to view enrollment instructions.) Read the “Welcome", then go to the “News" section where you will find an opportunity meet others in “Introductions” and share a bit about yourself. While in “News”, you can learn how to navigate this board, leave a general comment in the “General Comments Section” or review the very useful “Summary and Actions to Date” that will bring you up to date from last year’s Central Committee meeting.

In the future, you may wish to log-in, then move directly to the “Discussions” area to see what new posts are available, or to easily click on a link to review a document. If you have a comment, you can click the “+ Post” button, or you can “Subscribe” to that discussion thread. Please be mindful that this is a “Friendly Space” for Quakers, unlike some areas of the Web where “flame posts” are tolerated. Community behavior expectations can be reviewed at the link to "FGC Social Media Community Guidelines” found at the bottom of the “Welcome” section.

I look forward to learning from you, so please be involved and speak your truth for the benefit of the community we serve. Thank you for participating.

Frank
