Meetings

A relational meeting is arguably one of the most important parts of a social change organization. Unlike casual conversations, a relational meeting allows the organizer to connect with others on a personal level in order to objectively assess the organization and see how it can better serve others. In addition, relational meetings help the organizer understand negative feelings in the community and come up with ways to combat them. A day is not complete without a relational meeting at Homeboy Industries

Attending an AA meeting was intimidating at first, but it was one of the most moving and enlightening experiences of my life. I attended a meeting called the “Nooners Group” at the Serenity Club in Alexandria. The group had six men and one woman in attendance. The members were mostly white and were about 40 years or older. The group seemed to be in a middle or lower socio-economic level. The meeting started with several short readings. I was invited to read the AA preamble. Then, the group leader

Prior to the meeting I was angry because multiple locations failed to provide the meeting in which I needed to attend. I could not stay upset for a long time because if I would have given up, I would not have been able to meet with this group. This meeting place was somewhere I had visited before in order to support a friend. Since I had previously attended the meeting at this location I expected to see some of the same individuals from the previous visit. I also expected to experience a different

“The Ineffective Meeting” I recognized that the person who scheduled the meeting was not present at the scheduled start time, which appeared to be their custom. This resulted in the other participants treating the recurring meeting as a waste of time and resources. The participants had negative group roles instead of the progressive positive group roles of facilitator, harmonizer, record keeper, reporter and leader. Also, there was no clear defined structure to the meeting as related to topics

Group Meeting Outline The group leader (youth) will start the meeting out by reminding the group of the “group meeting expectations.” Expectations seem more acceptable to the youth than group meeting rules and are generally followed. Group Goal: The group will work out problems using group help and care and concern with yourself and others. The group leader will read this goal before the meeting. Each person in the group will make eye contact and commit to the goal. If eye contact is not made,

you because I am disappointed with the turnout of today's meeting. As president of the club, it is my job to make sure all board members are pushing their own weight. I understand you may not able to attend all the meetings, but you need to get into the habit of informing another board member of your absence. It makes it difficult on myself as well as the other board members when several of you do not show. Also, please only miss meetings if you absolutely have to. I understand having to attend

AA Group: Happy Hour at CASA Club House (Friday 8/29/2915 6:15-7:15 PM) Like many others, my perception of AA meetings were unfortunately shaped by television shows. Initially, I was excited to learn about overcoming alcohol addiction and was amazed by the variety of meetings that catered to people’s interests. However, after I had selected my meeting, I became somewhat nervous. I felt that my presence would be an invasion of someone else’s safe space, which in turn would impact their treatment

For an observation of an AA meeting my classmate and I made arrangements to go to an open meeting at Our Lady Star Of The Sea Church, which was held in a basement during a Tuesday afternoon session at 4:00 p.m. I first looked up the sessions online on a website where it held all the meetings on Staten Island and this one fit my schedule well. Its not unusual for me to be attending or visiting churches but for this assignment it did feel a little out of my comfort zone, because I didn’t know what

AA Meeting When Ms. Reed let us know about this paper and what was going to be about at the beginning of the semester, I started to feel a little anxious to be completely honest. At that time, my idea of an AA meeting was a very dark place, with a lot of sad emotions. I feel like us, young people, love to glamorize alcohol. We like going to parties and saying how drunk we got, but as soon as we hear the word alcoholic we creep out. Even though a part of me was frightened about going to an AA meeting

The meeting was about the City of Commission of Deland on March six, at seven pm. First, starts discussing how people can address an agenda or an unattended issue that can be given to City Clerk at the proper time. Also, the meeting gives information on how later in the meeting they are going to explain a new resolution of the surplus of the house abandonment. Something very nice that they did at first is how they made a program called "Super Stars Students of the month" to reward kids for doing
