Dallas Speakers Meeting

Types of AA Meetings

Open: In Oregon, open AA meetings are available to anyone in the community. They are not restricted to members only, instead allowing all interested parties to attend and learn more about how AA works, what the 12 step model of recovery includes, and how they can support their friends or loved ones battling alcohol addiction.

Speaker: AA centers in Oregon often invite speakers to inspire their members to resist relapse. Speakers are usually AA alumni and use humor, raw emotions, charm, faith, and reason to appeal to listeners.

Wheelchair Access: Oregon AA centers can include wheelchair access for non-ambulatory clients, which can include designated parking and exterior ramps. Interior features can include open floor spaces to access meeting halls, restrooms, and amenities.
