The purpose of the Intergroup Forum is to build community, to make connections with other members giving service in the Region and in our intergroups, a way to stay in touch and to learn from each other’s successes and struggles.
A list of 2025 IG Forum dates can be found here. You can also find forum dates, and many other workshop, retreat, Assembly, Convention, and other dates on the Region 6 calendar.
To be added to the email list, please contact R6trustee@oa.com.
We encourage your intergroup to post this information about the Intergroup Forums on your website; all members are welcome.
