As agreed at the Group Inventory on 6th February, CoDA UK is holding an additional meeting to complete outstanding business from the last year or so. This meeting is open to members from all the national meetings and representatives of regional groups. However, business is to be limited to just those items which were not heard or were unresolved at previous meetings, and members proposing those items have been contacted. We will be returning to regular and new business at our next quarterly meeting on 1st May.
Join us online/by phone to discuss national CoDA business. Group Service Representatives (GSRs) are able to vote on any motions proposed, but all members are welcome to attend, not just GSRs.
The draft agenda is being produced by a small group of trusted servants and will be circulated and made available below on Sunday 14th March. The meeting may be shorter than 4 hours if we only receive a few agenda items.
