\"SERENITY\"<\/a>In accordance with Tradition 2, ASP’s “leaders are but trusted servants\u2014 they do not govern.” They are members of ASP who volunteer to serve the group for a given period of time, which varies according to each service position.<\/p>\n

Members can check here at any time to see who their trusted servants are and when rotation of leadership is indicated. Those chosen to serve must be members of ASP for 6 months or more.<\/p>\n

There are 3 groups of Trusted Servants in A Serenity Place<\/em><\/strong>: The Daily Chairs, the Greeters and the Steering Committee. All are defined below. For a more detailed listing of various service responsibilities, please see the ASP Service Structure<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Daily Chairs<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Daily Chairs (those who post the daily topic, open and close the meeting) rotate every 6 months. The next rotation will occur in January 2016. The Meeting Secretary will then announce the need for new daily chairs and ask for volunteers. Those chosen to be Daily Chairs receive a link to the Daily Chairperson Instructions<\/a> in an email from the Meeting Secretary. All current Daily Chairs are listed on the Daily Meetings<\/a> page.<\/p>\n

Greeters<\/h3>\n

The Greeters at A<\/em> Serenity Place <\/em><\/strong>rotate every 12 months. They are in charge of welcoming new members to the meeting. The Greeters\u00a0also post a\u00a0welcoming email for each new member\u00a0to the general meeting, inviting other members to welcome them as well. Those chosen to be Greeters receive a link to the Greeter Instructions<\/a>\u00a0in an email from the Greeter Chair.<\/p>\n

The Greeters rotate yearly or whenever a vacancy occurs. Those listed below are serving currently:<\/p>\n

Monday \u2013 Charlene<\/p>\n

Tuesday \u2013 Diane<\/p>\n

Wednesday \u2013 Donna<\/p>\n

Thursday \u2013 MJ
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Friday \u2013 LauraT<\/p>\n

Saturday \u2013 Adrienne<\/p>\n

Sunday<\/span> \u2013 Linda<\/p>\n

Emails addressed to greeters@asp-afg.org<\/a> go to all current\u00a0members of the Greeter Committee, including the Greeter Chair, who is part of the Steering Committee as listed below. As the end of their term approaches, the List Administrator will post a request to the general meeting for anyone who would like to serve as a Greeter.<\/p>\n

Steering Committee<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Steering Committee is the primary business committee of A Serenity Place. The Steering Committee is composed of all elected officers, Chair persons of committees (but not sub-committees), two ‘founders’ (the original founders of A Serenity Place or those most nearly so), and two general members of A Serenity Place. Only the Steering Committee has ‘jurisdiction’ over issues of member\/trusted servant behavior; the Steering Committee has the authority to unsubscribe individuals (or remove trusted servants from office) who somehow violate Group policy so that the Group needs them to leave\u2014a similar process to what the Alateens do.<\/p>\n

Most members of ASP’s Steering Committee serve for a term of 3 years. Founding members serve indefinitely and two general elected members serve for a period of 6 months. Anyone interested in serving on the Steering Committee should attend the Business Meeting regularly. When\u00a0the term\u00a0for a service position\u00a0is nearing its close, the election of a\u00a0new trusted servant will be\u00a0placed on the Business Meeting Agenda.\u00a0Anyone interested in filling the vacant seat will be asked to submit a resume. Links to the resume form appear at the bottom of this page.\u00a0Please be aware that in ASP, those who are members of both Al-Anon and AA are not eligible to serve on the Steering Committee.
