Chair Position:
We have 3 operating committees with sub-chairs but need a chair– you are eager to help strengthen our region. We are focused on helping train our intergroups through a renewal workshop series, a special fair to reach out to unaffiliated meetings and members not participating in service, and direct outreach to over 400 unaffiliated meetings of the Virtual Region.
Editors for documents created by the committee. As well as members who have experience in creating workshop slide show presentations.
Members who are willing to do direct outreach to unaffiliated meetings about join a region service body. You will be given links to give to meetings and brief paragraph to share. Needed in all languages.
The Public Information/Professional Outreach/Unity With Diversity ( PIPO/UWD) co-chairs work in two unique areas. In the broadest sense, the co-chairs are responsible for developing, compiling, and promoting resources to meetings and fellows via OA Virtual Region Ingergroups and to professionals who may wish to refer patients/clients to OA if they deem it beneficial to them.
The co-chairs are also responsible for the planning of three Newcomer Open Houses each year. They usually take place around January, May and September, baring conflicts, and are approximately 13 hours on a Saturday and 6 hours on a Sunday. Affiliated IG meetings are invited to participate (to plan and hold a meeting).
PIPO/UWD has monthly meetings. Outside of the Newcomer Open Houses, we work on projects as identified by the board as needed, always keeping the compulsive overeater in mind.
