PUBLIC RELATIONS
Greetings from pr,
All is well with us. We are still waiting on
literature that's on back order for replenishment of the pr box. Once this
happens we will be able to restock the needle exchange. We will be present at
the Halloween function with the pr display, and some literature that we have.
Flyer day happened. Willingness is at a tremendous low. We really need members
to show up and participate. We discussed having gsrs speak with their fellow
home group members about home groups distributing flyers in the area of their
respective meetings. In the meantime, the next flyer day was scheduled for Nov
18th. We have an opening for the vice chair position. Clean time requirement
for this position is 1 year. Please contact Josh A, or come to subcommittee in
November if yoh have willingness.
Grateful to be of service,
Josh A

Motion
#5- Trust the Process, seconded by Progress not Perfection GSR SEPTEMBER 2017
Motion- To redefine
the way “Ad Hoc” appears in GTO’s policy and procedure under section VI.B.2 Ad
Hoc From:
“In creating an ad hoc committee, the ASC
should clearly specify what the committee’s purpose will be, what authority and
resources it will be given, and how long it should take to complete the job.
Then the area chair may appoint the entire ad hoc committee or just a
chairperson who will put the as hoc committee together later. The point of
accountability should be clearly defined when selecting trusted servants to
fulfill the ad hoc.”
To:
“To create an ad hoc committee the ASC, which
is made up by area officers, GSR’s, and GSR alternates, should clearly specify
what the committee’s purpose will be, what authority and resources it will be
given, and how long it should take to complete the job. If the ad hoc is for
regular area business an area officer shall chair said ad hoc. If it is an ad
hoc concerning a subcommittee the chair or vice chair of said subcommittee
shall chair said ad hoc. This creates a single point of accountability. If an
emergency ad hoc needs to be created the chair shall notify the GSR’s and/or
GSR alternates to create and ad hoc body
Intent – To follow the spiritual principles
outlined in the 1st tradition: “Our common welfare should come
first; personal recovery depends on NA unity.”, the 2nd tradition:
“For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority- a loving God as He
may express himself in our group conscious. Our leaders are but trusted
servants; they do not govern.” And the 9th tradition: “NA, as such,
ought never be organized, but we may create service boards or committees
directly responsible to those they serve.” The 2nd concept:” The
final responsibility and authority for NA services rests with the NA groups.”
The 3rd concept: ”The NA groups delegate to the service structure
the authority necessary to fulfill the responsibilities assigned to it.” 5th
concept:” For each responsibility assigned the service structure; a single
point of accountability should be clearly defined.” 7th concept: “
All members of a service body bear substantial responsibility for that body’s
decisions and should be allowed to fully participate in its decision making
processes.” 8th concept: “Our service structure depends on the
integrity and effectiveness of our communications.” 9th Concept: “All
elements of our service structure have the responsibility to carefully consider
all viewpoints in their decision making processes.” And the 12th
concept: “In keeping with the spiritual nature of Narcotics Anonymous, our
structure should always be one of service, never of government.”
Rationale: Transparency, accountability,
communication, unity, and to give the home group which ASC serves, a voice in
every matter.
