JFT Calls Special Meeting of the Committees Task Team
JFT Monthly Anniversary Meeting Last Saturday of the Month
JFT Calls Special Meeting of the Committees Task Team
Saturday, January 23, 2021
8:15 - 9:15 am.
via the regular 6 am meeting zoom link
As a follow up to the regular JFT Business Meeting held Jan 09, a "Committee Task Team" meeting will be held on January 23, 2021 from 8:15 a.m. - 9:15 a.m. to discuss best practices for the JFT Virtual Steering Committees going forward.
The JFT Virtual Meetings were formed in March 2020 at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The JFT Virtual Steering Committees and Virtual Service positions and their responsibilities were developed and endorsed at the September 2020 Business Meeting. These JFT Virtual Meeting Groups have continued to thrive and grow in attendance despite uncertain and rapidly changing circumstances caused by COVID-19.
As we approach the one year anniversary of JFT Virtual Meetings, at the JFT Committees Task Force Meeting, we hope to continue our group’s journey in further developing and documenting the best practices for the Virtual Steering Committees in alignment with AA’s Twelve Traditions and Group Conscience, and then make a report and/or recommendation(s) back to the JFT Secretary and the JFT Group as a whole at a future Business Meeting.
All JFT Meeting Attendees are invited to attend.
