Meeting ID: 839 1683 1125; Passcode: OIAA
We will be approving the 2025 budget and electing 3 officers and 1 non-officer trustee on December 21st, 2024. Those elected will begin their term of office on January 1, 2025, and serve for two years. The positions we are electing are:
- Vice Chair
- Secretary
- Technology Chair
- Trustee at Large
The assembly is open to all who wish to join, but only Intergroup Representatives, OIAA Standing Committee Chairs, and OIAA Officers are Voting Members. All Voting Members are urged to attend as a quorum is required to conduct business. OIAA must seat these officers and pass the budget before 12/31/2024.
We will again use google forms for voting, capturing and storing results. The Third Legacy Procedure will be followed; a 2/3rds majority of the Voting Members present is required to elect each position.
Simultaneous interpretation is available upon request. Notify Jennifer B., treasurer@aa-intergroup.org by December 7, 2024 of your needs for interpretation.
Election of OIAA Officers
We encourage all who are qualified to stand for election to do so. Officer positions that we will be electing are Vice Chair, Secretary and Technology Chair. Please submit resumes for these positions to OIAA.Board@aa-intergroup.org by November 15th.
Anyone who has served in an OIAA service position is eligible to serve as an OIAA Officer. No person may hold more than one Intergroup office at a time, nor may any Officer serve concurrently as Alternate. No officer may serve concurrently as an IGR. All Officers must be at least eighteen (18) years of age.
Election of Trustee-at-Large
The Board has created two new non-officer trustee positions who need not have served in OIAA but could have equivalent service elsewhere: International Trustee and Trustee-at-Large. Last year, we elected Beth A. as our International trustee so she has another year of service in that role. We had elected a Trustee-at-large but that individual stepped down. The Board had appointed Barry M., the former OIAA Secretary, as the Trusee-At-Large but now we will be electing this trustee. Please submit resumes for these positions to OIAA.Board@aa-intergroup.org by November 15th.
Anyone who wishes to stand for election will have up to 3 minutes to verbally present relevant qualifications. An outline for resume presentation to help prepare for qualifying is available on the OIAA website. The format is not required, but it may be helpful.
Submitted in love and service,
Jeff B, OIAA Secretary
