Duties

Log into the Nooners Zoom meeting, 15-20 minutes before start, using the assigned Alameda NA account.
Assign co-hosting privileges to the meeting’s other trusted servants: Secretary, TimeKeeper, and Greeter.
Have the Nooners digital NA Meeting Cards (group readings) ready to display when prompted by the secretary. Check schedule below to determine which topic reading is needed for which day: 12 Steps of NA, 12 Traditions of NA, or Just for Today.
NOTE: The Living Clean: The Journey Continues book is not available for public download, so it must be purchased and installed on the host’s device. (See Nooners Meeting Materials below)
During the meeting copy and paste the Nooners resource links into the Zoom chat.
During the meeting, mute and lower hands of participants if required. Be prepared and ready to use the appropriate Zoom application controls to eject disruptors and “Zoom Bombers” from meeting. (Zoom Video: Managing Attendees in a Meeting)
When displaying readings on the screen, try to expand the materials to fit the full screen of the hosting computer or tablet. Using the available screen space makes it easier for attendees to view the readings on smaller device screens like phones.
Host is the last to leave the meeting by closing the meeting in Zoom AND signing out of the NA account.
To deal with disruptive members, read the NA pamphlet Disruptive & Violent Behavior before you require the information. If disruptions do occur:

Remind all attendees of the rules regarding cross-talk, chet, etc. by repeating the related phrases from the Secretary Script.
Mute the disruptive individual and if necessary the Host or Secretary should use the Zoom controls to eject the disruptive person from the meeting.
