Our August Meet and Greet out in District 10 had 15 or so in attendance, and we signed up 7 of them with our committee as new speakers. Welcome aboard! We’ll work hard to create places for you to volunteer, but let’s remember, each one of us is an arm out into the community where we live, and may encounter places for the voice of A.A. to be heard. Try to keep this in your mind as you go out into your days.
The Edmonton PI/CPC Committee, speakers and all, are now 43 members strong. If any of you have any ideas, or can develop a speaking event, please bring it to our committee so we can list it here. A refresher of our mission statement can be found here ==> EGSC PI/CPC Committee and the Speaker Resource Page has other useful links as well. Read more “September Events”

Right in the midst of the summer months, we have a meet and greet on the 12th, as well as two IMPACT events and Elizabeth Fry. As of this writing, there are still vacancies available for both speaking and shadowing.
** New, One Time Checkbox ** When booking your event, there is a new checkbox just above “One Click to Volunteer”. This is to comply with new laws out of the European Union. For our purposes, there is no “information” being submitted, but for most users of this system, there would be credit card data, thus the concern. So, place a check in the box, click the purple button, and you’ll never see it again. Read more “August Events”

With the Professional Luncheon now behind us, and a great success at that, a big hand goes out to all who helped to make it happen. A speaker inventory is now underway, and there are plans in the works for some smaller speaker workshops to be held for those interested in getting involved with us.

This begins a new type of post for this site. The listings are much the same, but when speakers bookings are approved, the current post updates itself automatically, adding their name to the event booked, All that is required of our speakers is to check in on this site for events you feel interested in volunteering for, and a willingness to be of service.

If you know of a professional in your daily life you think would be interested in attending, we are asking that you invite them to attend. The lunch is free for the professionals, but for A.A. members attending, it is $25, just so people are clear about that.
Our committee has developed a few ways to contact them.
You can download the invitation pdf >> Luncheon Invitation << by clicking the download button on the page that comes up. Then either attach it to an e-mail, or print it out and hand deliver it.This is the month I began work with tags and shortcodes – little snippets of code that when put together, pull information from the database and display it as desired. Yay!!!!
I know… you care… but it means these posts now almost write themselves, thus removing the last significant hurdle of maintenance for the speaker coordinator. New events need to be created as they are developed by our committee, so there is a requirement for learning that aspect, but, either annually or otherwise, many are repeat events and are already created.
I have learned to compare this adventure to the building of a house. Doing so requires intensive effort during creation, and a different knowledge base, but once the structure is built, it becomes a matter of maintenance that is possible by the majority, and a handy-man gets called only once in a while.
The spirit of rotation is paramount to our society remaining relevant to today, so service roles need to be passed on with ease for if we wish to maintain enthusiasm. I believe I’ve now achieved that for our committee speaker coordinator. The position has essentially been re-written, yet in terms of actual effort, it now requires about one fourth the time as when I began, and thank God for that!
With this website, the potential reach of our committee has been amplified exponentially. As its existence is accepted as a permanent feature on the internet landscape, the only direction from here is up, and after hearing our latest delegates report, the tide is rising in favor of encouragement of use of the internet as a whole.
