A message from the Strategic Planning Committee of the Board of Trustees
Make your service body website a centralized hub to drive more traffic to your meetings while showcasing the diversity of the OA Fellowship! See Connecticut Intergroup’s online meetings page,* pictured below, as an example of how to drive viewers to meetings that most interest them.
- Add your own eye-catching graphics and links to capture attention and guide newcomers to your meetings!
Your service body might consider including links to OA.org.
- Specific-focus and specific-topic meetings are listed on Find a Meeting.
- Find a Meeting is easy to use to search worldwide for meetings in 45 languages.
- OA.org’s Podcasts and Videos page features interviews, podcasts, and videos about the Fellowship of OA.
- The “OA has your back” public service announcement (PSA)—link opens in third-party website—has subtitles in many languages. Click the “CC” button and the settings gear icon to read the subtitles in the language of your choice! (See more video options on OA’s Public Information and Professional Outreach web page.)
Add a page to your service body’s website to welcome newcomers.
- Newcomer pages, such as the ones on Connecticut Intergroup* and Region Nine’s* websites, are specifically for those new to OA.
Remember, links can change at any time, so be sure to test them before publication.
The Strategic Planning Committee hopes this short message fires your imagination as we all work together to communicate OA’s inclusiveness and diversity.
