Next HVIG Meeting: Sunday 1/12/2025: 1:00-2:30 pm ET

We are in the process of updaing our folders. Now you can access the monthly reports, agendas, meeting minutes and audio recording from one monthly folders.  As we continue to fine-tune our communication processes, we appreciate your patience and understanding.

Our fellowship follows Robert's Rules of Order to the best of our ability. We're committed to following the group conscience for all decisions that have an impact on our servce body. 

Below is a copy of the latest HVIG By-Laws.

HVIG volunteers are currently working on capturing all the passed HVIG motions and documenting them in one place for easy reference.  We hope to have the project completed by early 2024.

We're excited to report that the application process, approval and completion of the website integration with donation links to our fiscally sponsored account has been completed.

Many thanks to the entire fellowship for your participation in this important process. For the past six months, group conscience discussions were held. All options were considered as we explored what would work best for our fellowship. Please note that we are under no long-term contract with our fiscal sponsor.  At any time, if the HVIG group conscience wants to explore applying for and maintaining our own independent 501(c)3 status, we can do so by going through the group conscience process again.  In the meantime, all IRS reporting, online donations and annual audits are taken care of by our fiscal sponsor.

There was some confusion about the issue of "belonging" to more than one intergroup. It has been confirmed (by our Chair) with OA that meetings listed on the HVIG website can participate (including voting) in more than one intergroup.  Meetings that are listed on our website can send meeting reps (2) and participate with full voting rights.

From the OA bylaws:  c) Affiliation/Participation:  1) A group may affiliate with only one intergroup or national service board.  2) Groups may also participate in the activities (including voting) of another service body (intergroup, national service board, language service board, special focus board) with their permission.
