Meeting Service Positions

To carry out the message of recovery to the underearner who still suffers, we rely on the volunteer service of our members to keep the meetings running.

Tradition two states, "For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority — a loving God as is expressed in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants, they do not govern."

Tradition seven reminds us, "every UA group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions."

Below are service positions available at the Friday and Sunday UA meetings.

Our groups change positions every 6 months.
