Committee Report – Nuts and Bolts
The Assembly will be held on the 18th of May from 2 pm to 7 pm UK time
The committee was formed at the Region 9 Assembly in 2023.
This has been the second year for me as Chair. I asked for a Vice Chair and I have been grateful to receive the help from Adele (Israel).
The members within the Committee are: Adele, Sharlotte, Alexandra, Hafi, Jiouli, Mary, Ricky, Chema, and myself.
The function of Nuts and Bolts Committee is regulating the management of Region 9 Bylaws and Policy Manual supporting the Board.
In 2024 the main purposes of the committee were:
- To review when needed our bylaws, policies and procedures and also to combine some parts of our Bylaws with the Bylaws of our Charitable Incorporated Organisation.
So this year we have continued to
Revise some parts of the bylaws and policies and procedures. The Committee prepared 14 motions.
Some of them concern:
- The reorganisation of OA Region 9 Bylaws, Article I – Region 9 of Overeaters Anonymous.
- Review the role and duties of the Board with motions proposed to reword the composition and functioning of Region 9 Board.
- Review of sections in the Bylaws Policies relating to Finances/Charitable Incorporated Organisation.
- A new motion to create a formal policy regarding Region9’s participation in funding delegates to attend the World Service Business Conference, which has been implemented in practice for several years. This motion is simply formalising what has been done in practice.
I thank the members who worked very carefully and hardly and from whom I am learning a lot.
With love in fellowship.
