L a Voice

“LA Voice defines its members as congregations. There are two tiers of members:1) dues paying member institutions that have a vote on various leadership bodies and 2) associate members and strategic partners, who may or may not contribute financially to the organization and do not vote on organizational decisions (such as board appointments) but partner with the organization on campaigns and training. Strategic partners can include clergy who participate in the clergy caucus, but whose institutions do not yet pay dues.”
