District 2 Business Meeting Summary for April 19, 2026
Thanks to Kelli for chairing our business meeting while I am at home recovering from
my surgery! We were able to get through everything on our agenda for the month (yay
TEAM!).
We had trouble because our zoom account was downgraded due to nonpayment. We
will get this issue fixed but it brought up a bigger topic of how do we effectively transition accounts, software, subscriptions, etc when people rotate in/out of positions within the district? We will continue this conversation next month….

Many of our committees provided us with their quarterly financial reports. Sage
requested additional funds for the Meeting List Committee to get an Adobe subscription.
The primary consensus was that the district should provide funds for this, but it needs to be under an account that the entire district can access, if needed. Her estimate was that she would need $60 more than her budget allows. She will provide more detailed
numbers at the May meeting.

The ad hoc committee for clarifying the procedure guide language on budget/finance
has been unable to meet, so we tabled that conversation until next month so that they
can have a chance to get together and brainstorm some ideas.

Mike (chairperson for the Treatment Committee) requested to have a female co-chair
added. This was approved so we need to spread the word that there is an open co-chair
position open for Treatment. We will (hopefully) have someone stand for that position at our May meeting.

Kelli gave us a summary of the Spring Assembly: The motion to have an additional,
virtual election assembly failed. The Area 10 ad hoc committee put a lot of time and
effort into preparing a report with numerous recommendations for our assemblies going forward (the original report was given in November 2024). But we don’t like change and have been unwilling to approve any changes to our assembly guidelines.

We discussed upcoming events and what kind of workshops we should put together.
The Area 10 State Convention is bringing an event to Grand Junction next weekend –
Dunk a Drunk. Contact Manon if you need more information.

We will move forward with District 2 Business Meeting Summary for April 19, 2026
a Sponsorship workshop. Manon and Shea will begin putting that together. Christa will contact Area 10 to find out about having them bring another Anonymity workshop to the district in the near future.

We have lots of events coming up over the next few months:
Founder’s Day will be on 6/14/26 from 11am to 2pm.
Colordaze will be September 18-20 at the Rifle Fairgrounds. Attendees have the option
to camp at the fairgrounds, and the event is pet friendly.

Central Office is looking for hotline volunteers. If you or someone you know are
interested in being of service, contact Amanda (or Central Office) for more information.

PI is working on a “Take a book, leave a book” project. Used books are fine as long as
they are still in good condition.

Next Month we will discuss the following:
 How do we more effectively get new meetings/groups involved in District 2?
 How to more effectively transition incoming/outgoing committee chairs? Should
we start putting together “official” guides for each committee that includes a more
detailed list of duties with accounts, passwords, etc? Any other ideas for how to
help make the transition smoother going forward?
 What is the primary purpose of the website? Should it mostly be for document
storage? To relay business information fror the district? Should it be more
focused on fellowship and events? Having the website takes time and money. So
we should make sure it is doing the things we want it to do.

If you have any questions, please reach out and I am happy to help in whatever way I
can. It was great seeing everyone today and we will have our next business meeting on
Sunday, May 17, 2026. There will most likely be a new zoom meeting number and
password, so be sure to check the May agenda for that information.
