For either members to answer in writing before the inventory (anonymously if desired)or to answer together as part of the Group Inventory, depending on what the Group Conscience decides when planning the Inventory
- Why are you participating in the Group Inventory? What do you hope to get out of this experience? How long have you been a member of this Group?
- What is the basic purpose of the group?
- Does the group do its fair share toward participating in the purpose of MA — as it relates to our Three Legacies of Recovery, Unity, and Service?
- Do new members keep coming back, or does the turnover seem excessive? If so, why? What can we as a group do?
- Are all members given the opportunity to speak at meetings and to participate in other group activities?
- Is the spirit of rotating being followed (so that the members in service are rotating on a regular basis, with elections being held every 6 months, or other period of time?)
- Do we emphasize the importance of sponsorship? How effectively? How can we do better?
- Does someone make a sponsorship announcement and ask for available sponsors to raise their hand?
- Do our members volunteer to sponsor? Do our new members have a hard time finding sponsors? Is there anything we can do to help members feel more comfortable agreeing to sponsor?
- Does our District have a sponsor support meeting? Offer any training or support for new sponsors?
- What more can the group do to carry the message?
- What has the group done lately to bring the MA message to the attention of professionals in the community—the physicians, clergy, court officials, educators, and others who are often the first to see marijuana addicts in need of help?
- What has our group done to bring MA meetings to hospitals and institutions (including rehabilitation and mental health facilities and sober living), whether in-person or virtual. World Services’ H&I Trustee can provide support for starting local H&I meetings, which are often the first way members learn about MA.
- How is the group fulfilling its responsibility to the Seventh Tradition?
- Do we make donations to the District or Region? World Services?
- Do we have any kind of safety committee, new member liaison, safety liaison or meeting announcement about which trusted servants members (especially new members) can contact if they feel unsafe?
- Do we have any kind of basic safety “rules” in place as a group that members are aware of? Do we include any announcements at the start of the meeting about the basic safety rules (e.g. no smoking or vaping on camera, dressing appropriately, using the phone list and/or group chat only for recovery-based discussion, and not for self-promotion or romantic advances, not using the meeting chat for anything other than recovery, etc.)
- What do we do to protect the anonymity of members listed on our phone list? Does our phone list have anything written on it, or announced when it is shared, about what the proper and improper uses of it are?
- Do we take steps to ensure the safety of the chat (by turning off the ability to chat privately or at all during meetings?)
- Do you have any additional questions or suggestions for the group?
