[Businessmtg] CONSENSUS REACHED

[jennifer g]

Greeting ASP Business Members; 

 First off, I must apologize for the delay in regards to an announcement of a consensus.  It has been a more than hectic week, for I work for someone who is running for Congress and election day is this Tusday May 4th.  No excuses are acceptable, but I did want to give some sort of explanation as to where I have been!!  My apologies.

It seems that we have reached a consensus.  It appears that the majority agree with the statement presented by the Steering Committe.  The key points agreed upon is that dual members cannot serve as LA or other officer positions.  While there are some differences in opinion as to what positions can and cannot be held, the majority agrees that dual members should not be in leadership positions, although they can obtain positions such as Daily Chairperson or Greeter.

If anyone is prepared to make a motion including the statement below....

"Members of AA who are members of Al-Anon are not eligible to serve in positions that could lead to the development of Al-Anon policies, as well as those positions which represent an Al-Anon meeting to the greater Al-Anon fellowship, or those positions that are directly responsible for the Al-Anon message carried to the outside world.  In applying this long-standing Al-Anon policy to the ASP online meeting, it has been determined that members of AA who are also members of ASP are not eligible to serve as Officers of ASP or on the ASP Steering Committee. " 

please feel free to do so.

Hugs, 

Jennifer
