I am interested in starting a meeting in my town. How would I go about getting a starter kit and literature?
To start a new meeting, you must decide on a date and time, and determine a meeting location. The contact person or secretary for the proposed new meeting goes to the Starting a New Meeting page. Meeting requirements are listed on that page, as well as instructions for requesting approval and registration of a new meeting.
If the CEA-HOW meeting guidelines listed on the registration page are met, the secretary or contact person completes the information required online and clicks SUBMIT. WSO receives the request and emails the proposed Intergroup with which the meeting will be affiliated to inform the Intergroup a new meeting is forming in its Intergroup. A response is requested from the Intergroup in 5 days; when the Intergroup notifies WSO that the proposed meeting is in the appropriate Intergroup WSO assigns a meeting number to the new meeting and registers it; the meeting immediately appears on the CEA-HOW website meeting list. Concurrently, WSO sends notice of registration and the meeting starter packet to the contact person for the new meeting, together with contact information for its Intergroup. The Intergroup is also notified of registration of the new meeting.
Email or call WSO for additional assistance if needed.
