About The Group Records Process
A group may be part of the Vermont area whether it is in-person, hybrid or virtual through the appropriate registration process. Vermont adopted guidelines for permanent electronic groups that request to become part of the Vermont Area. See the VT PEG Motion and guidelines.
Our area group records coordinator processes group changes by updating the WSO database. The group records coordinator also receives notifications of new group registrations.
The area group records coordinator notifies the area website coordinator to update the website meetings listed. They also notify the Meeting List Coordinator who updates the electronic printable meeting list. Learn more by visiting Group Registration Frequently Asked Questions.
