The AA is a Fellowship. It is made up of groups of members who meet each week, in towns and neighbourhoods, up and down the country. Their primary focus is to help alcoholics at all stages of recovery. The structure of AA works like an upside-down pyramid.
In most groups, the chairperson or another officer calls the business meeting, which ordinarily is held on a monthly or quarterly basis. While some groups may occasionally permit nonmembers to attend, the group may request that only home group members participate or vote.
Group business meet- ings are meant to give members an opportunity to discuss subjects of importance to the group. Group conscience can be thought of in much the same way as personal conscience. Group conscience reflects a collective awareness of, understanding of, and surrender to spiritual principles.
The structure of a business meeting is an outline of specific activities that helps a team to progress and be effective. Following a business meeting structure can help ensure that the team keeps its focus on a topic and accomplishes the objective of a meeting.
Assign a General Service Representative to attend Intergroup meetings. Let the intergroup know of your proposed timing, venue, and type of group (open/closed). Place information in your local community (local media, notice-boards in shops, surgeries, libraries etc.) so they know the new AA group exists.
The main difference between meetings and groups is that A.A. groups generally continue to exist outside the prescribed meeting hours, ready to provide Twelfth Step help when needed. A.A. groups are encouraged to get listed with G.S.O., as well as with their local offices: area, dis- trict, intergroup or central office.
The Leader or the Chair is a key meeting role in both virtual and in-person meetings. The role is given to the head of the team who is responsible for putting together the agenda and assigning other meeting roles.
Proof of attendance at meetings is not part of A.A.'s procedure. Each group is autonomous and has the right to choose whether or not to provide proof of attendance at their meeting.
When the courts mandate attendance at AA meetings, AA participants work with defense attorneys to verify attendance. In some cases a sign in sheet is made available for visitors to an AA meeting to report attendance to the court.
