Hello Area 46!
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far. It was wonderful seeing all DCMs and Trusted Servants at the Assembly Planning meeting in June. Registration is now live for the August Assembly. Please help us best prepare by registering in advance, regardless if you plan to attend in-person or online.
The Technology Committee is continuing to look into improving the experience of both in-person and virtual attendees at our hybrid assemblies. We are currently discussing how to improve internet reliability by communicating more directly with the venue and/or internet provider, developing a solid back-up plan in case the internet fails, and considering different speakers which could potentially replace our PA system. If you have professional skills in the tech world and have further suggestions, please reach out to me directly via technology@dev.aa-nia.org.
The Technology Committee is also reviewing the request from Area 39 to share elements of our website so they can build a similar site of their own, and intends to bring a formal motion for approval at the August assembly.
I am continuing to assist with webmail, page update, and Zoom access for all of our DCMs and trusted servants. If you notice any broken links or old information on dev.aa-nia.org that needs updating, please send me an email along with the specific link or content that needs updating so I can get it corrected quickly.
An important note to share with your groups, Districts, and committee members is that you must be logged in to access the service site. Please share these credentials with your treasurers and any interested members:
