New Group Support section on website
& Meeting Development Committee! 

 

We are happy to announce our new Group Support section on the W.A. website.  

 

There are helpful tools and materials available here that you can download for your group; meeting formats, types of meetings, tips on outreach, W.A. Public Awareness Guidelines, archives to news letters and much more!

W.A. has also started a new Meeting Development committee in a effort to offer more ongoing support to new and existing groups.

 

This committee reaches out to members in groups around the world to help them continue to build a strong meeting and local fellowship. Each committee member is assigned meeting contacts in regional areas.  

 

We are looking for more W.A. members to volunteer to help "sponsor" a group and offer them support and make sure they know about our new Group Support section on the website. This is a wonderful way to provide service and get to know other W.A. members around the world!
