SUMMARY:January Quarterly Meeting at Centre Friends -- 1/20
DESCRIPTION:Join Centre Friends on January 20th for Quarterly Meeting business\, worship\, lunch and program. We will hear from FCNL representatives* about how they amplify Friends’ concerns on Capitol Hill\, and the issues they are focusing on this year.\nPlease note: Business and program times have been switched from the usual to give our presenters time to travel from Washington\, DC.\nSchedule\n9 am:  Registration in the meeting house\n9.30 am:  WQM Meeting For Business (business room) – With attention to the 10th Query\n11:00 am:  Meeting for worship (worship room)\n12:15: lunch: (Schoolhouse)\n1 pm:  program (business room)\nA wonderful children’s program is being panned by Claire\, the WQM children’s coordinator.  The children’s program will begin at 11 am and end at the completion of the adult program\, with a break in the middle for lunch. Centre Friends will provide a lunch of lasagna and sides.\n\n* The speaker for the program will be Diana Ohlbaum. Diana directs FCNL’s foreign policy lobbying team and leads an effort to replace the current U.S. foreign policy paradigm of military domination and national superiority with a more ethical and effective one based on cooperation and mutual respect. She brings to FCNL nearly two decades of experience on Capitol Hill\, where she served as a senior professional staff member of both the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee\, and earlier as an aide to Senator Paul S. Sarbanes (D-MD). During her time as a congressional staff member\, Diana coordinated efforts to overhaul the outdated Foreign Assistance Act of 1961\, improve oversight of arms sales and security assistance\, and promote diplomacy and multilateralism.\n\nImmediately prior to joining FCNL in August 2018\, Diana worked as an independent consultant specializing in advocacy\, political strategy and legislative impact. Most of her clients were non-governmental organizations and foundations working in the areas of sustainable development and human security. \nDiana also has experience in the executive branch of the federal government and in the nonprofit sector. From 1999-2001 she served as deputy director of USAID’s Office of Transition Initiatives\, a cutting-edge unit designed to advance peace and democracy in priority conflict-prone countries. She also worked as director of public policy for InterAction\, an alliance of NGOs engaged in humanitarian relief and international development. \nDiana is currently a member of the executive committees of the Modernizing Foreign Assistance Network and the Center for International Policy\, and serves on the Advisory Council of the United Nations Association of the National Capital Area. She holds a Ph.D. in political science from Johns Hopkins University and a B.A. in Russian studies from Amherst College.

SUMMARY:April Quarterly Meeting - joint program with Concord Quarter & Wilmington Friends School

Their training was spurred by an April incident in which employees at a Philadelphia Starbucks store asked the police to remove two black entrepreneurs who were waiting for a business contact. More recently\, Lancaster City Police used a taser on an unarmed Black man who was cooperating. This was caught on video and has spurred action. \nBut what about the everyday indignities\, harms and unconscious biases that go unnoticed and largely unintended? \nDr. Kemp’s Racial Bias Awareness and Prevention Training offers: \n\nTools to have productive conversations about racism;\nWays to recognize and stop actions driven by unconscious bias;\nGreater understanding of institutional racism;\n5 steps to make your businesses\, organizations\, and communities more inclusive and equitable.\n\nNote while this is an introductory workshop in many ways\, participants will be given opportunities to continue learning and practicing skills gained previously. Participants who have engaged in this work regularly will have much to offer those new to the work. It is an opportunity for all participants to expand the ways we know ourselves and each other.   \nRegistrants will be given pre-work to prepare for the presentation. \nRegister here (at Concord Quarterly Meeting event page.) \nWe also recommend the Stop the Hurt 5 Day Challenge or go to www.dramandakemp.com for Dr. Kemp’s book. \nFor more information on Dr. Amanda Kemp\, please check these links:\nFounder of Theatre for Transformation\nWatch “Make America Great Not the Land of Hate Again” Music video\nTEDx Talk “How to Lean into Conversations about Race…”\nwww.dramandakemp.com
