Hello everyone, I remember when I went to my first group conscience (at the advice of my sponsor). I was why do I need to go to this, I was only about six months sober at the time. Then I saw what and how it operated. I have been to alot of group consciences since then, and for different groups and committee’s as well. Each one operates completely different than the other one. But they all have the same purpose to come to a uniformed decision. I have formed a couple of group consciences for different groups, and setting up the responsibilities of each position is very important to help keep the group informed how it is being conducted and where and the monies are being spent. Laying out the guidelines or agenda for the group conscience is conducted is just as important. I do believe the best group conscience is one where everybody has the opportunity to be heard, and if someone has something they think is important then they should be looked into, instead of just shutting it down. I learned that the hard way.
