​What is an Assembly?

Region 2 Assemblies


Conducting the Business of OA in Our Region

Assemblies are where Overeaters Anonymous members come together to conduct the business of OA in Region 2. They’re held twice a year.


A strong, effective Region depends on every service body taking full part. Assemblies give each service body’s group conscience a place to be heard.


Who Makes Up the Assembly

Region 2 covers California, Hawaii, Mexico and Northern Nevada. The Region 2 Assembly is made up of:


  • The Region 2 Board
  • Region Representatives (RRs) from participating Region 2 intergroups. Each intergroup may send one RR for every ten meeting groups, or fraction thereof.
  • One voting RR from OA Rainbow, a specific-focus service body that provides information for LGBTQ+ members and allies in Overeaters Anonymous
  • One representative from each OA group in Region 2 that isn’t affiliated with an intergroup


Participation

Representatives take part in Region 2’s business by making motions and voting on decisions that shape the Region.


All OA members are welcome to attend Assemblies. With the Assembly’s consent, visitors may join discussions, but they may not make motions or vote.


Registration and Resources

Assembly announcements, registration information and representative resources go to all participating service bodies, including intergroups, OA Rainbow and unaffiliated groups. RRs can use these materials to prepare for the Assembly and report back to their service body.
