Following this will be a presentation by Hon. Kerry Meyer, a Class A Trustee, elected to General Service Board in April 2022.

Delegate’s Roundable (ZOOM)
2025-12-04 19:00 - 20:00 | Illinois
The Delegate’s Roundtable Meeting for this month will be this Thursday, December 4th at 7:00PM CST.

This meeting is an open forum each month where we have a Tradition presented and then a topic or speaker, followed by a discussion. For this month’s meeting, Tradition Eleven and Twelve will both be covered as the roundtable was cancelled last month. Your very own Alternate Delegate (Pam B.) and Delegate (me) will be covering the two Traditions, followed by a discussion on the many facets of Anonymity. I feel this is a timely topic right now in relation to an upcoming online workshop and one of the PAI’s for next year’s GSC (#25 on the attached list).

Following this I thought it would be interesting to discuss the attached list of Proposed Agenda Items (PAIs) submitted by the fellowship prior to the September 30th deadline for next year’s GSC. The list contains the 110 PAIs submitted and their current status in committee. As you see, there are currently 13 “Under Consideration” and 8 which have been “Forwarded to the Conference.” Please bring your thoughts, opinions and questions on these, or on anything else that’s going on in the Area, your districts and meetings.

About the Event

This meeting is an open forum each month where we have a Concept presented by a past Delegate, followed by a topic or speaker and discussion.

For this month’s meeting, Concept One will be presented by Area 21 Chair, Tom Hensold A21/P73).

Don Miller (A10/P49) will lead a presentation/discussion on why the Concepts are important, why Bill wrote them and how they apply to the entire A.A. structure, not just the GSB. Don is a past Non-Trustee Director on AAWS and past General Service Trustee on the GV Board. He was with us for a presentation last year and has graciously agreed to return and get our year started off.

I am very excited to hear these presentations, and I think it will be a great hour of AA information and sharing.

Following this will be a presentation by Sherry Snider (A55/72), current ECR Trustee, elected at the 2025 GSC.
