Group management

The main responsibility of the group owner/admin is scheduling meetings. Meetings can be scheduled up to 5 weeks in advance. A group is designated 1 meeting room. This means that a group can not hold more than 1 meeting at the same time.

You can schedule meetings in bulk on your group page or create recurring meetings to automatically schedule meetings for you. Learn more about how recurring meetings work.

A chairperson must be assigned for every meeting and defaults to the group admin. The chairperson has permission to cancel or reschedule their respective meetings. The chairperson is responsible for starting and facilitating the meeting, so we recommend not assigning the role to other members without their consent.

We ask that you try your best to avoid changing a meetings scheduled start time or canceling a meeting close to the start time. It's important to us that the meetings scheduled on our platform are as accurate as possible so that other members can rely on them.

We recommend defining any group specific rules/guidelines for your members/attendees.

Chairing meetings

The chairperson is responsible for starting and ending the meeting on time. The chairperson should be prepared to guide the meeting and follow the assigned format for the associated 12-step program. The role should be managed the same as it would in an outside meeting as much as possible.

The chairperson is in charge of removing any disruptive members from the meeting. Please report any trolls so that they can be promptly banned from the platform. It's important that our meetings are safe and welcoming to all members.
