ZOOM DISRUPTORS

Having trouble with Zoom disruptors in online meetings?

San Diego CoDA made this resource to support meetings with their experiences and how they've navigated disruptors and limited them in their meetings.

Los Angeles CoDA has also added the resource to our Safety page, found on the Meetings page.

Here is the pdf from San Diego CoDA:

Hope it helps anyone experiencing this!

With warmth,

FELLOWSHIP SERVICE MANUAL

The 2023 Fellowship Service Manual (FSM) is now available:

https://coda.org/service-info/fellowship-services-manual-fsm/

Two years ago, the Service Structure Committee requested to disband at the 2022 CoDA Service Conference (CSC). They had been responsible for Fellowship Service Manual updates. Since then, the CoDA Board has been tasked with this role. CoDA International has a Fellowship Service Worker doing the work of the former committee, and the Board proofs and approves all changes/updates that are a result of motions passed during the previous CSC. CoDA International (www.CoDA.org) thanks you for your patience and support as they continue to develop their process. // 3.26.24

Best to you all,
The International CoDA Board of Trustees
