1. Many Areas do more education & less business than us. Could we do less business and more workshops to learn principles and train GSRs and DCMs? Why?

a. Can we accomplish our work with 2 voting business meetings/year? Why or why not?

b. Can we accomplish our work with 3 voting business meetings/year? Why or why not?

2. Do you see a use for a one or two day non-business assembly? Why or why not?

3. What would be an advantage, other than unity, to traveling around the Area for a non-business Assembly? If Area was in your neck of the woods, would more people show up? Why or why not?

a. What is your understanding of the intent of a 4-Corners workshop? Do you think it is serving this purpose?

“Good leadership cannot function well in a poorly designed structure. Good leadership can be here today and gone tomorrow. Furnishing our service structure with able and willing workers has to be a continuous activity. It is therefore a problem that in its very nature cannot be permanently solved. We must continuously find the right people for our many service tasks.” (Concept 9) It will continuously be difficult & we must continuously FIND the right people.

4. Do the Traditions & Concepts provide enough checks and balances for the Area Chair to appoint the committee chair and service positions from a pool of interested candidates, nominations, and other suitable candidates? Why or why not?
