What is Intergroup?
|
When several meetings form in an area, they soon realize that they can perform certain functions better together rather than separately. So the meetings may form an Intergroup that is directly responsible to the groups it serves. Intergroups spring from a need to provide service for a number of local meetings and help distribute information about OA in a community. The Intergroup elects annual Board Positions and Committee Chairpersons to distribute Intergroup responsibilities. Intergroup Representatives are elected by each meeting to attend and participate in the Intergroup meetings and responsibilities.
Separate Intergroups make up Regions and then the Regions (eleven in all) combine to make up the World Service Organization (WSO). The Westchester United Intergroup is part of Region 6 which serves OA Region Six : New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Central and Eastern Ontario, Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Bermuda. Region 6 Monthly Intergroup Forum
The purpose of the Intergroup Forum is to build community, to make connections with other members, giving service within Region 6 and in our intergroups, and a way to stay in touch and to learn from each other’s successes and struggles. The 2024 IG Forum calendar can be found here. |
