Meet the Maker Session January 24; Upcoming Deadlines for World Service Business Conference 2026

Attention service bodies! We invite you to join us for a Meet the Maker session on January 24, 2026, to ask your questions and get a clear understanding of all New Business Motions and Bylaw Amendments that will appear on the Agenda Questionnaire for World Service Business Conference (WSBC) 2026. We need you to provide informed responses to the Agenda Questionnaire, and we think this Meet the Maker session will give you excellent information to make your decisions.
