Delegate Roundtable (ZOOM)
2026-06-04 19:00 - 20:00 | North Carolina
This meeting is an open forum each month where we have a Concept presented and then a topic or speaker, followed by discussion. For this month’s meeting, there will be a presentation/discussion of Concept Six by Dean S. Past Delegate (A21/P59). Hosted by your Delegate, Jodi B.

Following this will be a presentation by Jennifer B. (A06/P71) Trustee-at-Large US, elected in April 2025. She has served on the Trustees’ Public Information, Corrections and International committees for the past year. Jennifer has graciously agreed to join us to speak about her experience of becoming the Trustee-at-Large US, what is involved in that role and her experiences in her first year.

I am very excited to hear both of these presentations and I think it will be a great hour of AA information and sharing.

This meeting is open to everyone, so if you know someone interested in attending who is not on our Area mailing list, feel free to invite them.Area 21 AA is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting:Topic: Delegate RoundtableTime: June 4, 2026 07:00 PM Central Time (US and Canada)Join Zoom Meeting:https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88360693283?pwd=[REDACTED]
