IN&R (Intergroup North & Regions) Workshops & Retreats Committee.

We welcome CoDA members from all areas to join us at our quarterly IN&R CoDA Literature Workshop.

This is a safe and friendly space, on zoom, for us to continue our exploration of CoDA Conference endorsed literature, which we continue to do every three months.

We will be reading from the CoDA Booklet “The Twelve-Piece Relationship Toolkit” and answering the questions. (We will be reading Traditions 10, 11, and 12 in the Booklet).

There will be plenty of time for people to share and answer the questions, if they so wish.

If there is time, we can also review the CoDA “Common Threads of Codependency” Booklet.

This is an opportunity for us to come together and view some of the richness of our CoDA conference endorsed literature created by CoDA members, especially addressing our CoDA members needs and for people to lovingly pass on their experience, strength and hope of CoDA recovery.

We look forward to you joining us on Saturday, 21st October 2023 at U.K. time 2pm until 4.30pm.

This Workshop we will be viewing parts of the Twelve-Piece Relationship Toolkit Booklet, together with the new revised Making Choices in Recovery Booklet, which is full of amazing affirmations. We will also be looking at the Co-Dependents Anonymous (Blue) Book – Chapter Five and also how CoDA Conference Endorsed literature has helped us or might help us in our CoDA road to recovery, sharing our experience, strength and hope.

If we have time we will view other CoDA Service Conference (CSC) endorsed literature.

There will be plenty of time for sharing as our intergroup business session has been moved to the mornings.

All are welcome from whichever area.

Meetings are every 3 months and are principally a forum for Group Service Representatives (GSRs) and members to come together in CoDA spiritual principles of service and unity to discuss CoDA business, share what is working in their meetings, raise issues, and discuss putting on events and other community building activities.

Due to low attendance from GSRs and members, and a shortage of people willing to take over as committee members, the next meeting will be discussing the winding down of the committee and a possible move to quarterly service workshops and GSR Forum. Please come along to share experience, strength and hope.

The below list shows which service positions are available should you wish to put yourself forward with a brief description of what each role entails. Some of these positions (Chair, Treasurer and Communications Secretary) are described more fully in part 3 of the CoDA Fellowship Services Manual (FSM): https://coda.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/FSM-Part-3-Guidelines-for-Other-Service-Levels.pdf

Chair – manages the business meetings and set the agenda.

Minutes Taker – the role would include producing and distributing meeting minutes and other key information to attendees, officers, and the local Fellowship.

Communications Secretary – creates and maintains a Region contact list, answers incoming email, and would handle most mass mailings.

GSR – attends and reports to the National Steering Committee (NSC) every 3 or 4 months.

Treasurer – responsible for accounting and documentation of all funds, maintaining accurate records and presenting written reports of the status of the LSER account at meetings and when requested to the Fellowship.

Literature Secretary – to liaise with UK CoDA publisher to ensure literature is available. Provides other information about literature (new publications etc).

For those of you interested in the Treasurer role the guidelines are more than 3 years.

Voting rights

In accordance with the CoDA FSM 2019, GSRs and Committee members have a right to vote however as there is no LSER Committee yet this means only GSRs can vote. Ideally, the formed LSER Committee would consist of GSRs and Service members who are not GSRs.

Please note the CoDA Fellowship Service Manual states: ‘Terms of office and/or rotation of officers is highly recommended and considered healthy in CoDA. A term office of two years is suggested unless otherwise specified by a Group conscience.’

Please inform your group members about these service vacancies to get more involved at intergroup level (LSER) which are also opportunities to further your recovery as well as meet other CoDA members. If you as a GSR or any of your group members are willing to serve at the regional level then please note it is recommended to be attending local fellowship for at least 1 year and have worked or are working the CoDA program. For those of you interested in the Treasurer role the guidelines are more than 3 years.
A term office of two years is suggested unless otherwise specified by a Group conscience.’

Also, in accordance with the CoDA FSM 2019, GSRs and Committee members have a right to vote however as there is no LSER Committee yet this means only GSRs can vote. Ideally, the formed LSER Committee would consist of GSRs and Service members who are not GSRs.

Finally, LSER committee meetings are open for all CoDA members to attend, to contribute ideas about what they would like to see happen in their region and to discuss any issues their groups are experiencing, currently they are taking place on Zoom. It is a good way to be informed of what is happening with CoDA groups across the London South East Region and to connect with other CoDA members too.

We hope to see you on Sat 11th July 2020 at 1pm, when all being well the LSER Committee will once again become operational,
In fellowship
Acting LSER Communications Secretary

Role of Regions

Post author By trundlore
Post date 27th May 2020

These are regional groups formed by the meetings in parts of the UK to discuss issues raised by groups before taking them to the NSC, and to organise social events and workshops within their area. Currently there are two active regions.

The North Region was established in 2017 and meets four times a year. All CoDA groups within the North, Scotland, Ireland and North Wales area are encouraged to send along a GSR. Details of forthcoming meetings can be found on the events page.

The region focuses on group issues and projects, group support, promoting events, workshops and sponsorship with the aim of encouraging the continual growth of the fellowship.

Region – Examples of Regional Matters

The health of meetings – use of CoDA literature, 12 Traditions, group size
Identifying group issues and requests – the eyes and ears of the groups
Events – socials/conventions/workshops
Sponsorship
Literature

NSC – Examples of National Matters

CoDA UK Website
Where to Find – Meeting Lists

Regional Approval Process

An issue/project arises from group or regional level
Region drafts an initial document or response to the issue/project
The document/response/project is then sent out to all the groups and posted on the website for feedback by a set deadline – the document is clearly marked as a ‘draft’ awaiting approval
The document/response/project is then revised and put forward to the Region for final approval
The Region decides on a proposal for the use of the document/response/project
A request is sent to the NSC to approve the document/project etc and the proposal for its use – this is either done by email or through the NSC Regional Liaison or a Regional Representative is sent with the request to the next NSC meeting.
