Town Hall Webinars
On December 5th, the Office of the Treasurer hosted a Town Hall webinar during which the Treasurer and the Assistant Secretary of the National Spiritual Assembly addressed the Friends on the progress of the Nine-Year Plan. They shared examples of the response to the September 30th Letter in the City of the Covenant. Several communities gathered together to participate as a community. We estimate that over 1,400 Friends from all around the country participated in the December 5th webinar and a replay that was hosted on December 15th.
We continue to receive great feedback regarding the webinars, including:
“The town hall meetings are absolutely fabulous. They are so informative and interesting and so educational and I look forward to them.”
“It is so important to be part of a whole… I was not feeling well today but definitely wanted to go to the meeting today. I found it so convenient and available to be able to attend the town hall meeting and get these updates… it is just wonderful”
If you missed the December 5 Town Hall Webinar, for a limited time, please find a copy of the recording at: https://www.bahai.us/community/resources/fund.
We hope you can join us for the next quarterly Town Hall meeting. Please look for the invitation here and also via email.
For Local Spiritual Assemblies
Annual Liability Insurance
The Office of the Treasurer would like to share with you the news of the renewal of the annual insurance policy. Every year, the National Spiritual Assembly purchases liability insurance coverage for Assembly sponsored events in communities that do not have Bahá’í Centers. We kindly ask each Local Spiritual Assembly to help defray this cost by contributing a minimum of $225 for this coverage for the policy year. Our insurance carrier has estimated this amount to be the cost of coverage for each of the nearly 1,000 Local Spiritual Assemblies under the jurisdiction of the National Spiritual Assembly.
