The Alternative Format Meetings Voting Entity (AFM VE) originated as a taskforce to discuss and formulate how alternative format meetings (AFM) should be organized and represented at the CoDA Service Conference.

After months of debating and collaborating, the Alternative Format Meetings Task Force transitioned to a CoDA recognized Voting Entity (VE) in April, 2023.

There are more than twice as many Aternative Format CoDA Meetings all around the world since the relaxation of pandemic restrictions. And this number is continuing to grow.

Currently the Alternative Format Meetings Voting Entity (AFM VE) is the only VE with Delegates & Alternates representing all of these Alternative Format Meetings at CoDA Conferences. If you are a member of an Alternative Format Meeting, please consider encouraging your meeting to send Group Service Representatives (GSRs) to one of Our Regularly Scheduled Meetings. This will help to insure that your meeting's Group Conscience voices are heard by the entire CoDA Fellowship at all CoDA gatherings.
