As a Quaker organization, the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) is governed by a group of more than 100 members of the Religious Society of Friends. This group is called the Corporation, many of whom are appointed by Quaker yearly meetings across the country. 

The Corporation plays an important role for AFSC, approving members of our Board of Directors, approving changes to bylaws, and conducting other important business. 

Corporation members also help keep AFSC aware of the movements of the Spirit within Quaker churches, monthly meetings, and yearly meetings. In addition, they serve as AFSC liaisons, helping to strengthen connections between the organization and Quaker communities.
