  • Who participates in your meeting/group’s business meetings? Why? 
    • Are there any differences in the way members participate in service committee meetings and in a subcommittee meeting? Why, or why not? 
  • What does it mean to “bear substantial responsibility” for the Service Committee’s decisions? 
    • Do all members “bear substantial responsibility “for the MA services delivered? 
    • Do all members in your meeting/group or district/region’s service committees (i.e. DSC meetings or any District committees, i.e. H&I or Events) “bear substantial responsibility” for the Service Committee’s decisions? How so? If not, why not?
  • What does it mean for all members to have a “Right of Participation” in a Service Committee?
    • Are all members of the service committees in your group or district permitted to participate in the service committee’s decision making process? How so? Why or why not?
