AA NSW Service Council -- Delegates' Meetings go 'digital' 

​

AA NSW Service Council Inc has Quarterly Meetings (Feb, May, Aug and Nov) where representatives of participating AA Meeting Groups (Delegates) and individual AA Members receive update information and make decisions about helping the AA Fellowship in NSW.  

​

The next Service Council Meeting is the Quarterly Delegates Meeting on 30 May 2021,  to be held "in- person" (at the Information & Cultural Exchange, Parramatta) and also by Zoom Video-Conferencing.  We strive to serve all city, regional and remote AA Meeting Groups across NSW, and this enhances our democratic process and transparency. All Delegates and AA Members across NSW are warmly welcomed.

accidentally breaking anonymity? 

​

The Steps and Traditions of AA stress the importance of preserving the anonymity of members and warning against breaking anonymity in various media forms. The 'digital' era provides new challenges compared with conventional press and radio, especially because members using 'digital' platforms might accidentally reveal their own identity just by signing-in to video-conferencing using the (default) setting full name or within their email address. The user name can be changed easily, and we thought it might be helpful to share the information below.

How to Maintain Anonymity in an Online Zoom Meeting: When you join a Zoom meeting, you will see a screen “Join a Meeting” and a box with your name in it. You can change your name in the box before joining a meeting so that you maintain anonymity. Also see this link.
