What is the Central Virginia Intergroup?

How did you find out about our Zoom meetings and workshops?

Curious about where your 7th Tradition ends up?

What is Intergroup?

Central Virginia Intergroup (CVIG) is the organization that supports and helps OA meetings in our area.  We who volunteer are all OA members committed to helping each of us find and sustain recovery from compulsive eating.

We keep you informed and spread OA’s message by posting meeting information on our website (CentralVAoa.org), answering inquiries on our telephone line and to our website, planning and hosting our annual retreat, organizing frequent special events like workshops focusing on different aspects of OA recovery, sending out our monthly newsletter, and providing special OA-related updates via our email list.

We also send a delegate to our regional organization (OA’s Region 7) and OA’s World Service Business Conference. Our Public Information committee gets information about OA out to people who don’t know about us, our secretary takes and circulates the minutes of our monthly intergroup meetings which are posted on our website and published in our newsletter, and our treasurer manages the money donated from OA meetings in the Richmond/Charlottesville/ Fredericksburg area to pay our expenses (web hosting, phone line, retreat center, travel expenses for our delegate, etc.).  We have a Fun & Fellowship committee that organizes social events for our members. We also are available to assist meetings with specific requests or questions.  Meeting representatives can bring concerns and suggestions from their meetings to Intergroup and take information back to their individual groups. 

Visitors to our IG meetings are always welcome.  You don’t have to participate or commit to anything.  For more information please contact Catherine W., Central Virginia Intergroup Chair, at catwry@outlook.com 434-996-6638. The next meetings will be Sundays at 7:00 PM via Zoom on July 5, Aug 2, Sept 6, Oct 4, Nov 1, and Dec 6 .  Please join us!

BYLAWS OF THE CENTRAL VIRGINIA INTERGROUP OF OVEREATERS ANONYMOUS

ARTICLE I-NAME

The name of this organization shall be the Central Virginia Intergroup of Overeaters Anonymous.

ARTICLE II-PURPOSE

Section 1-Purpose

The primary purpose of this organization is to aid those with the problem of compulsive overeating through the Twelve Steps of Overeaters Anonymous, and to serve and represent the OA groups from which the Intergroup is formed. This Intergroup does not govern. This Intergroup is in compliance with and qualifies as an exempt organization under Section 501 ©(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 (or the corresponding section of any future United States Internal Revenue Law).

Section 2-The Twelve Steps[1]

The Twelve Steps are suggested for recovery in the Fellowship of Overeaters Anonymous. The Twelve Steps are:

  • 1.We admitted we were powerless over food—that our lives had become unmanageable.
  • 2.Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
  • 3.Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
  • 4.Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
  • 5.Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
  • 6.Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
  • 7.Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
  • 8.Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
  • 9.Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
  • 10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.
  • 11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
  • 12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to compulsive overeaters and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Section 3-The Twelve Traditions[2]

The Twelve Traditions are:

  • 1.Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon OA unity.
  • 2.For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority—a loving God as He may express Himself in our group conscience.
  • 3.The only requirement for OA membership is a desire to stop eating compulsively.
  • 4.Each group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or OA as a whole.
  • 5.Each group has but one primary purpose—to carry its message to the compulsive overeater who still suffers.
  • 6.An OA group ought never endorse, finance, or lend the OA name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.
  • 7.Every OA group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.
  • 8.Overeaters Anonymous should remain forever nonprofessional, but our service centers may employ special workers.
  • 9.OA, as such, ought never to be organized; but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve.
  • 10. Overeaters Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the OA name ought never be drawn into public controversy.
  • 11. Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, films, television, and other public media of communication.
  • 12. Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all these traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.

Section 4-The Twelve Concepts

The Twelve Concepts of Service are:

  • 1.The ultimate responsibility and authority for AA world services reside in the collective conscience of our whole Fellowship.
  • 2.The OA groups have delegated to the World Service Business Conference the active maintenance of our world services; thus, the World Service Business Conference is the voice, authority and effective conscience of OA as a whole.
  • 3.The Right of Decision, based on trust, makes effective leadership possible.
  • 4.The Right of Participation ensures equality of opportunity for all in the decision-making process
  • 5.Individuals have the right of appeal and petition in order to ensure that their opinions and personal grievances will be carefully considered.
  • 6.The World Service Business Conference has entrusted the Board of Trustees with the primary responsibility for the administration of Overeaters Anonymous.
  • 7.The Board of Trustees has legal rights and responsibilities accorded to them by OA Bylaws Subpart A; the rights and responsibilities of the World Service Business Conference are accorded to it by Tradition and by OA Bylaws Subpart B.
  • 8.The Board of Trustees has delegated to its Executive Committee the responsibility to administer the OA World Service Office.
  • 9.Able, trusted servants, together with sound and appropriate methods of choosing them, are indispensable for effective functioning at all service levels.
  • 10. Service responsibility is balanced by carefully defined service authority; therefore, duplication of efforts is avoided.
  • 11. Trustee administration of the World Service Office should always be assisted by the best standing committees, executives, staffs and consultants.
  • 12. The spiritual foundation for OA service ensures that:
  • a)no OA committee or service body shall ever become the seat of perilous wealth or power;
  • b)sufficient operating funds, plus an ample reserve, shall be OA’s prudent financial principle;
  • c)no OA member shall ever be placed in a position of unqualified authority;
  • d)all important decisions shall be reached by discussion, vote and, whenever possible, by substantial unanimity;
  • e)no service action shall ever be personally punitive or an incitement to public controversy; and
  • f)no OA service committee or service board shall ever perform acts of government, and each shall always remain democratic in thought and action.
