2026 Group Inventory Questions
By group conscience, we GROW members conduct a group inventory periodically. The first inventory was held in September of 1999. Our goal is to determine whether GROW needs to implement changes that address issues that need to be resolved. In reviewing members’ comments that respond to the Group Inventory questions, the business meeting will decide whether to maintain the current approach or make adjustments of any kind. This is an important process for the health of our group. Everyone’s input is important, whether a member is a newcomer, old timer or in between. The results of the group inventory are taken to the next business meeting and reviewed by business meeting participants to determine if action needs to be taken.
Not all of the 12 questions suggested by AA are relevant for Grow. For the 2026 Inventory, we selected seven of the questions for consideration by our members:

Question 1: What is the basic purpose of the group?
Question 2: What more can the Group do to carry the message?
Question 3: Do new members stick with us, or does the turnover seem excessive?
Question 5: Are we careful to preserve the anonymity of our group members and others AA’s outside the meeting rooms? Do we leave the confidences they share at meetings behind?
Question 7: Are all members given the opportunity to speak at the meetings and to participate in other group activities?
Question 8: Are we mindful that holding office is a great responsibility not to be viewed as the outcome of a popularity contest; are we choosing our officers with care?
Question 11: Are we considerate of all our members?
