How do meetings decide when and how to transition?

Most meetings in our intergroups and region transitioned from face-to-face to online or phone formats during the pandemic and are considering what to do next. Other meetings shut down completely and plan to reopen. This document addresses how meetings decide when and how to reopen, and how they can transition to hybrid meetings if that’s what they decide to do, including what to consider for the face-to-face meeting and what technology to be used for the phone or online participation.

OA Tradition Five: Each group has but one primary purpose - to carry its message to the compulsive overeater who still suffers. How will your group Carry the Message – what types of meetings will best serve this purpose?
