E. STRUCTURE AND LEADERSHIP OF THE RE-EVALUATION COUNSELING COMMUNITY
E.7. Area Membership Meetings
An Area membership meeting is to be held at least twice a year. The purpose of the meeting is to review progress and reach consensus on long-range policies, plans, and goals for the Area. All Community members are to be included or at least the ARP, the AARP, the Area leaders, and representatives of Area classes.
Every two years, one of the Area membership meetings shall include a self-estimation of the ARP. The RRP will assist the ARP to schedule the self-estimation (see Note II. Self-Estimation [print version page 100]). At the self-estimation the ARP shall be confirmed by the group, or not, as ARP.
REASON
A regular forum is needed for communicating about and making decisions on policies, goals, and actions and for reviewing progress. This will lead to unity and forward movement. Self-estimation helps leaders be accountable to the Community and move forward. It encourages leaders to respond to the intelligence of the entire Community and encourages everyone to take a responsible attitude toward leaders.
