Region III Assembly Highlights
San Antonio, TX: March 29‐31, 2019
HMI Representative: Sue Hackenmiller
In attendance were 20 representatives from 20 Region 3 Intergroups and 5 Steering Committee members. There were representatives from all seven Region 3 states: Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, and Utah.
Friday’s Forum Meeting 3‐5pm: Presentation given by two reps regarding virtual meeting and workshop opportunities. Discussion about lack of IG Rep participation, an issue that is present across our Region, and sharing what others are trying out to see if it makes a difference.
Steering Committee reports and Business Meeting: Of significance:
- Financial: HMI Meetings 7th Tradition contributions were $485.91 from Sept 2018 – January 2019. R3 Net Income for that same period is $5,464.
- The BOT (Board of Trustees) is considering meeting more often via conference call and which would result in lowering WSO expenses.
- The 7th Tradition suggested contribution of $3 will soon be changed to $5. Supporting rationale is expected to be included in this request.
- Another annual appeal for donations from WSO will be forthcoming.
- Samantha W, who was recently appointed as Communications/Technology Secretary by R3 Chair Brenda Queen, was unanimously elected to fill that position (main responsibility is the R3 website).
New Business: The delegates approved various Policy Manual and Bylaw amendments, mainly to change verbiage for clarification, or remove duplication of verbiage.
Committee Meetings and Reports: A working lunch was held for each of the following committees to discuss accomplishments, goals, timeframes and resources towards future work. Nothing significant to report.
