Directions for Submitting FA Meeting Changes
Note: these directions are only for changes to an existing FA meeting. For directions on how to register a new meeting, go to the website, click on Menu > Meetings > Meeting Information & Resources and follow the directions for registering a new meeting. PLEASE NOTE: the meeting type CANNOT be changed through a Meeting Change Request. If a meeting type is changing from an in-person meeting to a telephone meeting, then a meeting contact must submit a Close Meeting Request for the in-person meeting and Register a New Telephone Meeting. If a meeting type is changing from a videoconference meeting to an in-person meeting, the meeting contact must submit a Close Meeting Request for the videoconference meeting and Register a New Videoconference Meeting.
Only a meeting’s Meeting Contact, WSI Contact, Intergroup Contact, and Chapter Contact can request changes to meeting information. Note: Keeping meeting information accurate is the responsibility of the Meeting Contact.
To Submit Changes for an Existing FA Meeting:
- Go to www.foodaddicts.org.
- Login to your FA profile.
- In the Manage My Meeting section in the right-hand column, find the meeting for which you need to make changes.
- Click the blue button to Submit Meeting Change Request.
- The Update Meeting form will open on your screen.
- Find the field for the information that needs to be updated and overwrite the current information in the field. To remove information from a current field, delete the information. All fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are required.
- Meeting Information:
- Telephone/Videoconference Meetings:
- Videoconference Zoom Meeting IDs: Enter numbers only without any spaces. For example, if your Meeting ID is 894 624 8635 enter it as 8946248635.
- Meeting Access Codes/Passcodes: Please use numeric passwords only. For the sake of phone dial-in users, do not include alpha or other characters in your meeting's password. Please note that Zoom changes an alphanumeric passcode to be a set of random numbers, so using the passcode “FAITH” does NOT translate to 32484. Zoom generates a passcode of 798937.
To keep things simple on the Meeting Details Page, we want to display only one passcode, so a numeric-only passcode is required.
- Telephone/Videoconference Meetings:
- Meeting Service Positions:
- Meeting, Intergroup, WSI, and Chapter Contacts are required contacts. A Chapter contact is only required if your meeting is registering with the Maine Chapter. These are the only contacts who will be able to submit changes to this meeting. Note: Keeping meeting information accurate is the responsibility of the Meeting Contact.
- Non-Required Contacts: Add a representative for these positions so your meeting can be contacted by those committees (connection, PI, MESA, Treasurer.) Note: the connection Rep is required if your meeting has a connection subscription.
- Update first and last names, email, and phone number. (Last names and email addresses are used for record keeping purposes only; they will not be published.)
- To remove a non-required meeting service position, delete the information in the first and last names, email, and phone number fields.
- In the Other Comments/Questions area, enter any questions or instructions you want to send to the intergroup/chapter office committee member who will be checking your meeting information before making it live on the FA website.
- Meeting Information:
- Click the blue button to Submit the request for meeting changes.
- You will receive a Thank You confirmation screen. Please allow 7 to 10 days for your Intergroup/Chapter Office to process your meeting change request.
- If you have any questions, please contact your Intergroup/Chapter Office:
- EAI Office: eaioffice@foodaddicts.org
- Maine Chapter Office: meoffice@foodaddicts.org
- WAI Office: waioffice@foodaddicts.org
- If you have technical difficulties, please contact web@foodaddicts.org.
