Business Meeting Chair Report
My name is Mary O, and I am currently serving as the Business Chair. I have held this position for two rotations. In this role, it is essential for members to have adequate computer skills. Collaboration with the Secretary and other service position members is necessary, and being organized is highly advantageous. Developing a system to track tasks associated with this position has been an ongoing process, but it is becoming more manageable over time.
The workload increases during business meetings. Notices must be sent to members before meetings begin, and during meetings, it is important to follow the agenda format and conduct votes as required. Ensuring the meeting concludes within the allocated time remains a priority. After each meeting, minutes are prepared, distributed to members, and a copy is sent to Danna to be posted on the GROW website.
Through this position, I have gained insight into the conduct of business meetings and learned more about AA’s business operations. This experience has reinforced the importance of service at all levels to keep GROW active and welcoming.
