Registration
We are asking attenders to register for the workshops in advance, so we can make sure we have enough online capacity. However, registration is not required for the event, and no one will be turned away because they haven’t registered.
SUGGESTED DONATION
There is no fee for the workshops, and we will not turn anyone away who has no money to give today, but a donation of $5 is suggested for each workshop you attend to support the work of New York Intergroup.
USING ZOOM
If you are not familiar with Zoom, it is strongly suggested that you set up an account in advance, and perhaps attend some UA Zoom meetings to become familiar with the technology. The NY Intergroup of AA has published a step-by-step guide for setting up Zoom accounts here.
Service
If you would like to volunteer to help with one or more of these workshops, please register here. To help make the workshop run smoothly, several people are needed to help with the dashboard, and we also need some people to introduce the speakers, so put those good phone meeting skills to use, and sign up!
Workshop Guidelines
- Please respect the other workshop attendees, and behave as you would during a face-to-face workshop.
- The workshop will be recorded, and your attendance at the workshop will be taken to indicate your acceptance of this. If you are not comfortable with your responses to the Facilitator’s questions being recorded, then please do not share them at this time, but find another UA member or meeting afterwards, so that you can share them in confidence.
- If you haven’t used Zoom before, please click the link to download Zoom prior to the day of the meeting and familiarize yourself with the features you may need – mute/unmute microphone, stop/start video, Chat, etc. You may find it helpful to attend a UA Zoom UA meeting ahead of the workshop.
- In line with the 12th Tradition, please make sure that your full name or company is not visible on your Zoom account. If you do not wish your face to be recorded, make sure that your Zoom profile picture is blank or otherwise anonymous.
- It is suggested that you join early – at least 5 minutes before the meeting start time
- If you wish to share at the workshop, please find a quiet space without interruptions / background noise.
- If you wish to turn your video on, please make sure your background is not distracting. If you are walking or moving around, or other people are walking around in the background, we ask that you turn your video off.
- During the workshop, please only use the Chat feature to respond to questions asked by the Facilitator. (There will be a chance to ask for/offer help and swap contact information via Chat at the end of the session.)
- The Facilitators will be presenting some information on screen; if you are unable to see the slides, they will be made available on the UA-NY.org website after the workshop.
- All the workshops will be interactive: please make sure you have a pen and lined paper to write on.
