Al-Anon Resume for Steering Committee at ASP 

Date: 

1/16/2018 

Name: 

Anne OHara 

(real name, no pseudonyms or screen names) 

Email Address: 

aohara77 at comcast.net 

Service Position in ASP you are available for: 

Greeter Chair 

Al-Anon Birthday: 

1994 

Years: 

24 

ASP Birthday: 

2004? 

(and for a period of time in 1999 I don't remember how many years then) 

Years: 

13+ 

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: 

Group Representative for my home group, meeting chair 

ASP: 

Webmaster, Treasurer, Greeter, Archivist and meeting chair 

Online Al-Anon other than ASP: 

N/A 

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?  

Daily crisis is behind me.  I manage life's surprises 

using the tools I have learned through participating in Al-Anon
meetings, reading and engaging with other 

members.  Service allows me to give back to this life saving program. 
Plus service keeps me coming back!  

What changes would you like to see in ASP? 

In general: 

Nothing!  I continue to listen to others who do want change.  I am
always open 

to what others have to say and will support change when it aligns with
the traditions of this 

program. Technology and tools change, how we approach the traditions can
change but the 

principles of the program do not. 

Specifically regarding this service position: 

There has been a large gap in recent years. 

Our service positions have sometimes been difficult to fill.  I think I
have the time and 

the skills to support this need. 

What changes do you NOT want to see occur at ASP?  

Anything "substantial" 

that doesn't go through the documented steering committee or business
meeting process. 

In what way do you feel you participate or contribute to the group? 

I have been somewhat absent from the recovery meeting.  I do read the
shares but don't always share experience strength and hope.   

I do regularly participate in business meetings. 

How do you feel about the current guidelines at ASP? 

[refer to http://asp-afg.org/founding-statement] 

I support them. 

Do you have technical or other experience that you feel is significant
for this position? 

I have a background in publishing and operations.  I am comfortable with
many software 

programs and I am always will to learn more.  If something isn't
documented I will figure it out 

through trial and error.  Using this approach I created guidelines for
transitioning other positions at ASP. 

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 check email daily and can carve out time when needed.  

Anything else that you would like to say  . . . 

I continue to be very grateful to Al-Anon but in particular ASP.  I love
that it is always here 

that there is always a meeting and that there is an online community to
support me. 

When my days were regularly dark, I found a tremendous amount of relief
and support. 

Forever grateful, I will always be "plugged" in here.
