General Services for Recovery in the Lifestyle

In the early days of RitL, a small group of us served as a "Steering Committee" for the fellowship. As RitL has grown, we have now created a formal general services committee to handle the responsibilities of the organization as a whole.

We have created a steering committee composed of 6 members. Each is serving two year terms who have a quarterly conference call to handle our fellowship's business. All meetings are handled by telephone conference calls. We also hold an "open" general services call annually in early January. Each RitL group can send a representative to join in to discuss the various items surrounding RitL as a whole. An RitL group must have held at least 3 meetings to have a representative with a voice and vote on the annual General Services call.

We strive to make the business annual meeting notes available for download from the RitL website after committee approval, which happens after approval on our first quarterly call in April. All calls take place on the weekends, and we try to ensure that the annual meetings go no longer than 90 minutes.

We ask that anyone who is interested in learning more about the calls, or who wishes to present questions or agenda topics to us to please send an e-mail to: info@ritl.org We ask that anyone who wishes to propose a topic for the agenda, please send a brief description of the topic at least 7 days prior to our meeting, as the final agenda is set 48 hours before our call.

Please contact us if you have any interest in joining and supporting the General Service calls and RitL. We hope to get attendees from all areas that have RitL meetings, as well as people interested in bringing RitL meetings to their area.

In service and fellowship,
- Aarkey
