PCMC STRUCTURE:

The Peace Coalition of Monterey County (PCMC) was created to unite and coordinate the efforts of local organizations around issues of peace in promoting long-range policies for a peaceful world. Some of these local organizations are branches of national or international organizations.

The PCMC Steering Committee consists of one representative from each of the active Member Organizations.  Four Administrative Officers are elected from these representatives.

The Steering Committee has formed an Issues Committee and an Actions Committee to carry on the work of the Coalition. If you want to be a part of a committee or have other talents or ideas to share, please contact George Riley .

If you belong to a local organization that is in accord with the PCMCs Statement of Purpose, you might consider applying for PCMC membership.  Contact the PCMC Chairperson Celia Bosworth
