AA should not be a qualifier, this is not their program, it is ours. I
disagree with the one year in ASP to be an officer. Service is always
encouraged in my f2f meetings, I have been in the program 5 years now.
Understanding cross talk etc did not take very long, if you have a good f2f
meeting then it is enforced quickly.

Thanks Steve, for the information on what positions are considered officer
positions.

 

I agree 100% with another member of this business meeting, who said that it
takes at least a year to get to know someone on-line and to be able to see
how they are working the AL-ANON program in their lives. I would like to
first see how a candidate for an officer position shares on the weekly
Traditions and Concepts topics and how well they understand these
principles. Little things that don't seem to be a big deal really are
because they eventually dilute our program. It's a bit like becoming
pregnant, no one notices at first but then after a while it cannot be
missed.  The "Promisses" "Co-depend" "My qualifier" Crosstalk" etc, etc are
all things that came into our program as not a big deal...but now they are.
I think an officer should know why these things ARE a big deal and be
willing to speak up and help the reast of us understand the importance of
following our Traditions and Concepts.  Also, I do not think that officers
should be dual members of other 12-Step programs, especially the AA program.
When Al-Anon decisions on policy are made they ought to be made by Al-Anon
members only..........f2f or on ASP.

 

 

Also, if it is not too much trouble, could we please have a list of business
members in this meeting like we had last time?  Thanks.
