[Businessmtg] [Bussinessmtg] Ideas to Improve

[Darlene Pinnell]

Hi everyone - Thank you everyone in service here for all that you do, for
taking on more than you should and for caring enough to do it!

I have been on ASP for a little over a year now and have done no service
work except to read and share and participate in several business
meetings.  I know that service is important not only to this group but to
my recovery; however, I find it quite intimidating and I am reluctant to
jump in over my - something I've done in the past.  I have been to f2f
meetings but my service there was closely monitored and very limited.  That
is why I wanted to participate at business meetings first before putting
myself out there for 1-3 years.  Very overwhelming and my computer tech
knowledge is not the greatest - although I work on a computer for my job as
a paralegal.

However, in the year that I have been on ASP, I have come to rely on its
daily presence, the shares that I read, and those who share - miles away
and yet more intimate than some of the people I see on a daily basis.  I
understand the importance of service to keep something so important
running  to not overburden or should I say continue to overburden the
Steering Committee.

My challenge so far has been where to begin. Do I have and ideas?  since
I'm just learning, I'm not sure what to recommend, but maybe lowering the
service times as Anne mentioned or even if one of the daily Chairs was
shared between newbie service Chairs to help them integrate into service.

Thanks for considering my voice,
