[Businessmtg] ASP Group Representatives Report - July 2023

[Anne]

Hi Friends!

 

For those who may not know...

-I am the ASP Group Representative , my role is to act as liaison between
our group and the District and Area that ASP is connected to.  

-Our Area, the GEA, is relatively new and is building out the structure
needed to be a fully formed Area - currently, our Area does not have
Districts.  

-The Area is unique in that it does not have geographic boundaries that the
other Areas, Districts and Groups have. 

 

The last several reports I have presented to the Bus Meeting, have  been
focused on the Districting needs of the GEA.  The District Thought Force
committee that I was a part of, wrapped up their work and presented their
findings to all the Group Rep's in the GEA (Global Electronic Area) in May.
With feedback from the group reps after those presentations, the GEA
officers are now forming a District taskforce with a new set of GR
volunteers.  I assume that the GEA officers will be providing the GR's with
more information soon.

 

+++Other structural tasks that the GEA officers are managing are two
positions - Area Delegate and Language Coordinator.

 

***The Language Coordinator was recently appointed by the GEA officers.  He
was one of three volunteers.

 

***The GEA does NOT have an Area Delegate, only an Area Alternate Delegate.
The GEA is actively seeking a Delegate for the Area and posted the "job"
description in search of willing participants.  The description is also
found in the Service Manual.  Once there are volunteers stepping forward,
there will be an opportunity for Q & A with the volunteers and then an
election.

 

*** Our Alternate Delegate attended the World Service Conference in May and
provided her report to the GR's in June.  

 

***This weekend was the 2023 AL-ANON INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION,  Albuquerque,
New Mexico June 29 through July 2, 2023 "New Hopes, New Friends, Renewed
Recovery!"  In the future, this might be something a GR would attend and the
costs would be borne by the group.  

 

That's it for today, please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Yours in Service,

 

Anne O.
