Chair Report - October 2024

Good Morning Area 41,

This last quarter I have received feedback about several agenda related topics. I love that multiple committees have come to me and asked for time to do workshops, asked to have space for surveys and other time at assemblies. If your group, district or committee wants time, just come talk to me, we can accommodate this. This is your assembly and if there’s things you like, things you dislike, please bring it to me, so we can help make this assembly yours. This is your 7th tradition dollars and your group's time, make it whatever you want it to be. As your area chairperson I get the opportunity to serve you by chairing the agenda committee and I have been super fortunate to have an agenda committee that is engaged and excited about this inventory process and experimenting with the schedule. So please keep us in the loop with what you think.

The biggest trap we get in is doing something just because we’ve always done it when it truly doesn’t serve our groups anymore. Feedback can be one of the best gifts even when it’s hard to hear.

Make sure to get your agenda items to me before October 23rd so the agenda committee can meet and get those items assigned. You can send those via [Chairperson contact form] also if you still have feedback on the inventory questions you send it there too [redacted]! If you want to have input on the schedule for January, you can ask for the information to that virtual agenda committee meeting as well.

Finally, committee chairs- we have an area zoom account if you want to use it between assemblies, come talk to me! I’ll help you!

Thanks for the opportunity to continue to serve and grow! Love and Service, Cara G.
