New / Change Meeting

Update Your Meeting
Submit New Meeting

Currently, there are over 850 meetings in the Cleveland District Office area. Any two of us may constitute an AA meeting but an AA group must be able to carry out the primary purpose of our fellowship and that is to carry its message to the alcoholic who still suffers. Therefore, it is important that each group be established and stable when it is put into the meeting schedule book.

Before submitting a new group request, ask the following questions:

Is there another group in the area that is the same day, time and type?
Is another group really needed or are there other motives for starting the group?
Does the group have a core number of home group members who have supported it for a minimum of 6 months?

Remember:

The secretary or a representative of the group must attend a Secretary Workshop based on the General Service pamphlet "The AA Group." (Check Upcoming Events)
An AA meeting listed in the meeting schedule book should be open to all alcoholics, although it may be restricted to men only, women only, etc.
An AA group should never be named after a person, living or deceased.
An AA group should never be named after the institution or facility in which it meets.
Pick a name that is unique enough so that it will not be confused with other groups.

After submitting this form, we will call to speak with you to verify your information. Our hours are Monday thru Friday from 9:00 am - 5:00 pm. Please note that registering with the Cleveland District Office does not constitute registering with General Services Office in New York.
