We begin our service, within the context of a CMA (Crystal Meth Anonymous) meeting, and service encompasses a variety of roles and responsibilities that contribute to the overall functioning and success of the meetings. Service starts at the meeting level, where individuals engage in tasks such as:
- Greeting attendees at the door
- Making coffee and preparing snacks or cakes
- Organizing member contact lists
- Setting up the chairs and meeting space
- Chip Person
- Sponsor Coordinator
- Cleaning up after the meeting
- Serving in positions like meeting secretary, treasurer, and Group Service Representative (GSR)
These roles, along with others like those leading or speaking at the meetings, represent “being of service” within the CMA fellowship.
Many members come to CMA Service at the General Service Organization (GSO) motivated by a desire to support our fellowship. We may possess specific skills or be interested in learning how else we might contribute. Opportunities for service are not limited to formal roles such as Delegates or Trustees; individuals can also engage through various advisory committees. These committees—such as Communications, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), Finance, Conference, Hospitals and Institutions (H&I), Literature, and Public Information & Outreach (PI&O)—continuously require support for various projects.
Overall, service in this context is a crucial element that fosters support, and the continuation of the our fellowship’s mission. Anyone interested in becoming involved, regardless of experience, is encouraged to explore opportunities within CMA Service.
We ask that CMA Service Members register if you are a Delegate, Trustee, GSC Committee member, Area Chair or Area Committee Chair or Chair Person(s) of a local service committee or desire being of service in an other capacity to the Fellowship of CMA.
Thank you for taking the time keeping your info, up to update. We hope that you will pass on this tradition to the next person who is fulfilling the commitment that you now hold. Thank you for your service!
