What is the OA HOW Virtual InterGroup (HVIG)?

Trusted Servants

Our common purpose is to carry the message of recovery to those who suffer from compulsive eating.  Our fellowship serves the needs of our two-hour OA HOW phone meetings.  Through group conscience, we support this website, a We Care List of contacts, and participate in world service.

Volunteer service terms run from October through September and are designed to rotate annually.  HVIG Board positions are usually one-year terms (two-year term for the treasurer) and are filled through group conscience by two-hour OA HOW sponsors.  A minimum of one year of two-hour OA HOW abstinence is required to serve on the board.

Currently, there are 11 two-hour OA HOW phone meetings listed on our website.  As per the HVIG Bylaws, each meeting can delegate two fellows to participate in the HVIG, bring ideas, suggestions, requests to the HVIG for discussion and voting.  Since the HVIG's purpose is to serve the needs of the meetings, meeting reps are an essential part of our service body.
