[Note to Secretary: This document is a guide to help you facilitate a business meeting. Notes in italics
are sample items for consideration and notes in bold-faced type are intended to be read aloud at

Introduction:
We will begin the business meeting with the serenity prayer.
FA Meetings typically hold monthly business meetings, even if there are only a few
people attending or there is no apparent pressing new business.
Business meetings provide an opportunity to consider broader issues and concerns and
to discuss how effectively the meeting is reaching newcomers.
The requirement for speaking and voting at a business meeting is a minimum of 90 days
of continuous abstinence in FA, though everyone is welcome to attend.
