[Businessmtg] Changes to job duties are determined by the business meeting. - How to get removed from this meeting?

[Adrienne]

All,

For me this has nothing to do with how Al-Anon works. It does not follow 
the traditions or concepts as I have come to understand them.  I am also 
finding that this is not helping my personal recovery and is becoming a 
point of frustrations and angst.

Is is possible to be removed from this business meeting?  What would it 
take? I have asked several times but seem to continue to be included in 
this process.

I am very sorry I agreed to participate.

If not I will just hit the delete button and leave the rest.
