Meet Your Nashville Intergroup Board

CHAIR - Email Chair@OANashville.org

My name is Angie B. and I am chair of MTI.  I have been abstinent since June 23, 2006 and lost over 100 pounds.  While the physical weight loss is absolutely wonderful, I have lost at least another 300 pounds between my ears.  I was in OA a long time before 2006 and I would do anything that people who had what I wanted said to do except give up the food.  Amazingly enough the program never worked for me doing it my way.  Since my surrender of the food I really do have a lot of emotional and spiritual growth.  The one constant during the times of not really surrendering to the program was that I kept coming back.  I believe in service work.  Service works bonds me to OA and to my fellow sufferers.  I believe recovery is possible for anyone who is willing to go to any length to get it.

TREASURER - Email Treasurer@OANashville.org

My name is Sarah G.  I qualify as a bulimic, anorexic and compulsive overeater.  This is my second time in OA.  I came back on February 14, 1997 and became abstinent on January 15, 1998.  Not too long ago I celebrated 10 years of abstinence.  I have continued to maintain a 15-20 pound weight gain.

I am Middle Tennessee Intergroup's treasurer.  This is my strong suit as I majored in math and taught math in high school. I have also served as MTI's rep. to Region 8.  During that time as Region 8 rep, I served Region 8 as its Chair and then for a short time as the chair of the Young People's Committee.  Service is what has kept me coming back to OA one day at a time.

SECRETARY - Email Secretary@OANashville.org

Becky M. - Secretary - Becky has been working her OA recovery program since August 2000.    Working the steps has become a way of life that has changed her life - spiritually, emotionally, and physically.  Because Intergroup plays a crucial role in the maintenance and growth of our Middle Tennessee OA fellowship, she is grateful for the opportunity to provide service by serving as secretary.
