The Committee category is an experimental (as of 12/10/17) category for discussions among those leading or serving in Committees in A.A. service. It is a “closed” forum in that you must be a member of tiaa-forum.org to post or read content there. While any member of tiaa-forum.org can post or reply to topics in this category, it is expected that these conversations have only to do with Committees and Committee work.
It has been perceived as overwhelming need, specifically within our CPC, Corrections, H&I & Translation Committee’s, that communicating and coordinating with other Area and District Committees would help expedite solutions, communication and dedicated participation within our committees and throughout our entire fellowship. Specifically, a traditional circumstance of isolation can be resolved through the wisdom gained by shared experience.
The purpose of this Committee Category is to provide committee chairs with a forum for learning about the scope of their individual responsibilities, commenting on committee news, events and resources and coordinating supportive efforts across Areas.sf
It is expected that general information will be shared in the Committee Category and, when topics more specific to a particular committee (e.g. Corrections) generate more traffic, we will sub-divide the Committee Category into appropriate sub-categories and move topics to those sub-categories as appropriate.
The name you use here is not verified and only used to control for spam and bot submissions. It will not be tied to your account. You can create and edit a profile disclosing the account name and information you wish to expose to the community (not publicly visible outside the forum) when and after you join.
Email where the invitation to join will be sent. This will also become a secondary way of logging in or recovering your password. We recommend a personal email address (e.g. your_name@example.com) instead of a “positional” email address (e.g. webmaster@your_intergroup.org) unless you intend for you membership to rotate with the person holding the position in the future. This email address can be changed after you join if you wish to change it by editing your profile information.
By the group conscience of the members, this forum is only open to members of AA and those non-members of AA supporting AA services (e.g. Intergroup offices, AA service structure, etc.).
If you are interested in conversations in more than one technical topic area (e.g. web sites, answering services, virtual meetings, etc.) or have a general curiosity about AA discussions in general (e.g. topics above and beyond technology like committees and group dynamics), you would probably want to select the default “General” option.
If your primary interest is in Archives only, you probably want to select the “Archives” option. Note that with either option, you will still have access to all topics on the forum but with the “Archives” option, your “home screen” will automatically place you in the “Archives” category where most of those conversations happen.
