The meeting format is to read a selection from both books for discussion. Last Sunday of the month is a Speaker Meeting. First Sunday of the month is an Open Meeting. Closed meetings are for A.A. members only, or for those who have a drinking problem and “have a desire to stop drinking.”
A typical open meeting will usually have a “leader” and other speakers. The leader opens the meeting, introduces each speaker, then closes the meeting.
But you can also give your meetings a huge shot in the arm by reminding yourself of the 3Cs of great meetings: communication, connection, and celebration. Communication is probably the meat and potatoes of your current meeting. We get together to share (ostensibly) essential information.
We can transform our meetings into engaging and productive sessions by applying the principles of the 40-20-40 rule. This rule suggests dedicating 40% of the time to preparation, another 40% to productive follow-up, and only 20% to the actual meeting itself. Before scheduling a meeting, apply the go-no-go test.
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.
Some groups, with the consent of the prospective member, have an A.A. member acknowledge attendance. This may be provided on a slip that has been furnished by the referral source, or via a digital method if the group is online. The referred person is responsible for returning the proof of attendance.
One way to improve meeting quality is by following the 5 P's: purpose, preparation, progress, participation, and process.

Invite the Right Participants. Communicate the Purpose. Stick to the Schedule. Foster Active Participation:
One thing many groups have discovered that can test that unity within meetings, however, is crosstalk – sharing that is often considered intrusive and generally disruptive. Crosstalk can mean different things to different people.
At the start of each session, the host should state the purpose of the meeting, quickly review the agenda, and ask participants if they have any questions. One way leaders can learn how to address a meeting is by incorporating the IEEI framework into each group session.
