Al-Anon Resume for Steering Committee at ASP
 
Date: ___02/04/2013_____________
 
Name: ____Raine Clara Shakti____________(real name, no pseudonyms or screen 
names)
    
Email Address ___Raine.Clara.Shakti at gmail.com________
 
Service Position in ASP you are available for: _____Webmaster__
Al-Anon Birthday: __August 2010  Years: _2.5 years___
 
ASP Birthday: __March 2012_____ Years: _1___
 
One year's participation in ASP is a prerequisite to serving as an officer of 
ASP.  Participation may take many forms, but merely having one's email address 
on the ASP server is not participation.
 
Service Positions held in Al-Anon:
A member of ASP must have served ASP in some other service capacity for 1 year 
in addition to any other minimum qualifications for ASP Officers.
 
Face-to-Face Al-Anon: _________Have given a number of leads, help with service 
at meetings, ___________
 
ASP: _____Served most of the term for the step lead last year____
 
Online Al-Anon other than ASP: ______None__ 
Members of Al-Anon who are also members of AA are not eligible to serve as 
officers of ASP or on the Steering Committee
 
Are you a member of AA? ___No______
 
Why would you like to serve ASP in this position?  ___
 
ASP is an incredibly valuable resource to me personally and I consider it my 
home meeting because I travel so much that I cannot always make my face to face 
meetings.  I believe the webmaster position is valuable because our Website 
serves as our face to the outside world_____________________


What changes would you like to see in ASP?
 
            In general: ___This one is hard because sometimes there is not 
adherence to the traditions and I struggle with that.  I’m speaking specifically 
of some prayer requests that have been posted.  I struggle with those when they 
are strictly a prayer request because someone died, is sick, etc.  To me that 
smacks of Christianity and I struggle with that, but I also realize we need to 
have compassion.___________________________________________________
 
Specifically regarding this service position: ___
 
_Possibly update the Website to be more user friendly and to make sure that all 
the information is up to date.  There is a lot of information on the site that 
seems to be outdated._________________________
 
            What changes do you NOT want to see occur at ASP?  __
 
Love the format of the meetings and how a topic is posted each day.    Love the 
openness of the group and all the ESH and recovery that is 
here.___________________
 
 
In what way do you feel you participate or contribute to the group?
 
I post on most topics.  There may be some I miss but it is important to my own 
recovery to post as often as possible.    I served as a lead for most of a term 
and I am leading the traditions / concepts rotation starting in July.  I also 
greet most of the newcomers and I try to send ESH as appropriate.
         
 
How do you feel about the current guidelines at ASP?
[refer to http://www.asp-afg.org/ASP/Business/ASP_INFO.htm]
 
_____________I think they are good and give a good overview of our 
group._____________
 
Do you have technical or other experience that you feel is significant for this 
position?
 
            _____I currently work in IT as an organizational change manager.  I 
have experience with Word, Excel, Sharepoint, and some HTML.  I also write 
technical manuals and training material as part of my job so I can create a 
procedures manual.____________________________
 
Describe your concept of how much time you have available to serve ASP and how 
accessible you are to the other members of the Steering Committee and the 
general membership of ASP.
 
            ___I have four to five hours a week at least to serve ASP.  My guess 
is that the time commitment would be more at the beginning and less as the 
Website gets updated._________I am alsways available to other members via 
email._____________________________________________________
 
Any thing else that you would like to say  . . .
 
            _____What will the process be for approving updated content as there 
are some out of date documents on the site.
 
Thank you for considering me for this opportunity to serve.__
