Acknowledging that we are all here for our personal recovery, the mission of the CoDA Board of Trustees is to ensure the longevity and fiscal health of the organization, to support the Fellowship’s ongoing service work, to promote CoDA unity and to reach the still suffering codependents.

 

OPENING  (8:00 am – 8:05 am – 5 min)

Serenity Prayer - God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Read Step Five – Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being, the exact nature of our wrongs.

Read Tradition Five – Each group has but one primary purpose -- to carry its message to other codependents who still suffer.

Read CoDA Service Concept Five – Trusted servants are directly responsible to those they serve and are bound to honor the group conscience decision making process and uphold those decisions concerning their service work. The Fellowship also recognizes the need and right for members to honor their own experience, strength, and hope and their Higher Power's will as expressed to them. When the group conscience violates an individual's own truth and makes participation impossible, the individual may relinquish the service position. 

Promise Five –  I know a new love and acceptance of myself and others. I feel genuinely lovable, loving and loved.

Read from In This Moment I am willing to change. In the past, I thought life would be better if other people changed. But that didn’t happen and I was miserable. I came to CoDA hoping to learn how to change other people. What a surprise to find out that I was the one who had to change!  Now, when I say the Serenity Prayer, I concentrate on the wisdom to know the difference. If I stop, think, and pray, I discover choices. Change begins with me. Today, I am willing.

 

Order of round robin – Barbara, Don, Faith, Gail, Joe, Matt, Yaniv, Nancy

Please write the board (board@coda.org) if you plan to attend, so the Trustees are aware of how many people will be on this business call.

Please note: Observers are welcome to observe but are not to have voice in the meetings (i.e., speak, introduce themselves, ask questions) unless invited to do so.

Visitors’ microphones will be silenced. Those wishing to ask a question are encouraged to do so before the meeting begins, not during the business meeting. There will be a 5 minute period at the close of the meeting during which observers may use the raise your hand feature to indicate that they have a comment or question. People will be called on by the Chair, as time permits.

Thank you for your understanding.

In accordance with Section 2.10.1 of the Board of Trustees Policy & Procedures Manual:-

Any CoDA member is permitted to join the Board con call unless we are meeting in executive session to discuss personnel or legal issues. Any interested member must follow the instructions listed below:
 

  • These guidelines are to facilitate the observation of interested members of the Fellowship in the Board of Trustee conference calls. The Board’s use of teleconferencing on a monthly basis to conduct the business of CoDA is not intended to close the meetings,nor to conduct CoDA business in secret; it is intended as a money and time-saving use of technology. The Board feels that its meetings should be open to the Fellowship and welcomes the interest and appropriate participation offered. 
  • The CoDA Board will announce the date and time for their next scheduled monthly conference call as part of each meeting or can call summary that is sent out via email blast and posted on the CoDA website. 
  • Members interested in joining the call must notify the Board in advance since a limited number of people may join each call. Members interested in joining the call must notify the Board in advance since a limited number of people may join each call. Advance notice of at least 24 hours is requested. 
  • It is at the discretion of the Board as to whether or not participants will have a “voice” during the call. This is based on the time constraints that we have and whether or not a participant has specific information or expertise on a subject under consideration.
  • Certain con calls (for example, those that involve personnel discussions) will be closed to non Board Members. 
  • Those members who agree to the above conditions and wish to be notified and given access to the Board conference call should send an email to board@coda.org
