WHAT’S IN THE WORKSHOP AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS
ARCHIVIST - Currently there are pictures of the repository on the Area Website under Area 14 Committee and A.A.W.S News. Please check it out and if you would like to visit, contact me at archivist@aanorthflorida.org to set a time and I will be happy to meet you there!!

INTERGROUP will explore how Area Intergroup Offices are Embracing Change in Alcoholics Anonymous; focusing on where they have been successful and the challenges they continue to navigate, and how the Area can support them.
PUBLIC INFORMATION - will look at how Tradition 10 & Tradition 11 apply to Public Information. The dos and don’ts of the traditions and why anonymity matters at the level of press, radio, and films.
COOPERATION WITH PROFESSIONAL COMMUNITY - My goal for the CPC committee for 2021 will be to improve communications and coordination amongst all districts’ CPC Chairpersons. I will create a Google email list of all Area 14 CPC districts’ chairpersons. Then I will create a Google groups Forum that will allow us to post topics and responses and provide a means for discussions and exchange of ideas to further our CPC mission.”
CORRECTIONS - Join the “new” corrections team for Area 14. Experience inside the walls is NOT a requirement. We will have an AA speaker share with us. Then we will look at the “why” and the “how” we can bring the message of sobriety to your area corrections facilities. Our wrap-up will be a Question-and-Answer period, as well as how we can facilitate a Corrections Committee and workshops in your district.
LITERATURE - We will be discussing the history of AA, The Steps and Tradition through the information in the books and pamphlets. We will also review some of the discussion from the last workshop about our service journey. Make sure to stop by the Literature table and play Literature Jeopardy. Drawing for give-away following 4:30 Workshop.
LUNCH WITH THE DELEGATE - Our special guest, Cathy B, our Southeast Regional Trustee, will be joining us, as will several Past Delegates, including Annette and Joyce. This will be a great time to get to know us better, one on one, rather than just seeing folks at a podium. Ask questions, make suggestions--you name it. We are here to serve you and cannot wait to meet you in a smaller setting where we can all get to know each other better. See you there!
OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE - As the first meeting of this committee for Panel 71, introductions and scope of the committee will be heard. A report will be provided from the November JAC meeting and any other reports from the convention representatives will also be presented. Review of a Bid Package and the timeline for bid submission will be provided both by discussion and virtual link. A question and answer and conversation period will follow as time permits.
GRAPEVINE – “Grapevine Grape Meeters” Let us get to know one another. What has been happening in your Districts? What would you like to get out of this workshop? Discuss and review the new books coming out of the Grapevine. I would like to share some idea’s I have for the next two years.
TREATMENT - Looking at starting a campaign “Sponsor a Treatment Facility”, the idea is to get groups to bring a meeting to a Treatment facility near them. Go over Zoom: hosting a meeting, etc. There are many facilities that are not allowing regular meetings. Zoom is our new tool. Go over “Bridging the Gap” and any other ideas.
SERVICE MANUAL -The Service Manual is our guide to the General Service Structure, from the group down the triangle to the General Service Conference and General Service Board. Why is the triangle upside down? Come find out!

WEBSITE ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE - Embracing change by bringing consistency, education, and technology. The committee aspires to lead the NFAC further into the 21st century.
GROWTH ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE - As this will be the first meeting of the Panel 71 committee we will begin with a brief meet and greet from the new members. The scope of the committee will be reviewed with respect to the Structure and Guidelines for Area 14 and a handout (virtual link) will be presented of the North Florida Area Districts. Old business as reflected in the previous panel’s minutes will be addressed and the committee will then hear any new business. A question and answer and conversation period will follow as time permits.
SITE AND AGENDA ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE – Why is this an Administrative committee. Introduce the voting DCMs. What is within accordance to the Structures and Guidelines? After reviewing the responsibilities of this committee, what are the objectives for the first quarter? Assign DCMs to areas within the Committee.
GSR WORKSHOP – A responsibility of a GSR is to support the Delegate. Introduce our Delegate, what does she need from us? Another responsibility of a GSR is to carry the message from the Area to your Group. And from the Group to the Area. The latter is accomplished by 1) understanding the role of the Advisory Actions and Structures and Guidelines and 2) making motions at the Area. Let us learn the process of making motions that effect change at the Area.
DCM and PANEL MEMBERS WORKSHOP - Join us to discuss ideas for creating and delivering engaging Workshops using Zoom Technology. We will discuss how we can best disseminate information to our community when we are not able to meet in person.
