Old business:
James brought up old business of bringing a meeting into a treatment center. Randy wasn’t available to give an update on his reaching out to contacts. Albie says he knows some people at EVENSQ and Valley Behavioral Health and would look into options for the area. Talked about challenges to rolling this out and how to address them. The group discussed how we can ask people from the two meetings represented in Area as well as other fellowships, and can even allow someone who doesn’t have Meth as part of their story. Jonathan proposed that the meeting can be a bunch of formats, speaker, panel, topic.
New business:
Albie brought up the issue of chips, is it needed? Said that maybe instead of underwriting chips for groups that aren’t participating in Area, we can instead go to those meetings, announcing that Area will order those chips for the group and then the groups could purchase them at cost.
The group voted to table the issue until the next business meeting.
Elections (as needed):
Albie stood for H&I chair and was unanimously confirmed.
Announcements:

Announce we elected a new H&I chair and announce that Area is looking to bring a meeting into a treatment center.
