Intergroup of Central Ohio

Intergroup supports more than seventy meetings. This work is done completely by volunteers. Below you will find some useful documents that allow Intergroup to operate smoothly.

  • Developed by a committee and approved by the Group Representatives (GRs) that attend Intergroup, the Suggested Intergroup Guidelines for Central Ohio Al-Anon Family Groups provides a foundation for making decisions. GRs, District Representatives (DR), Coordinators and Officers should be familiar with the document. Additional resources include the Al-Anon Family Group Service Manual from the World Service Office and the Ohio Al-Anon Family Group Guidelines.

  • Many people dislike meetings – especially ones that gets bogged down in personalities, bickering or redundant discussions. Intergroup Etiquette provides a common foundation, approved by the GRs, that allows the Chair to move meetings along. It provides agreed-upon guidelines for introducing new business, introducing motions, having discussions, moving business along and overruling the Chair.

  • If you would like to propose a motion or new business to intergroup use the Motions and New Business Form. See the Meeting Etiquette to see how and when to use the form.

  • If you would like to nominate yourself or someone else for a position fill out the Nomination Form and bring them to Intergroup, and we will get you started.
