Start A New Meeting

Interested in starting a new meeting? The CPA General Service Virtual Office is here to support your efforts. Many of us have found that starting a new group has been extremely fulfilling and beneficial to our own recovery.

We suggest you begin by referring to the Meeting Handbook where you will find information about CPA and how to start a meeting. You will also find suggested meeting formats and tools you will need to run a successful meeting.

When you are ready, fill out the registration form below to alert the CPA General Service Virtual Office of your new meeting. It is very important to register your new meeting so that CPA can keep your members informed of fellowship news. If you wish, we will add your group to the meeting listing section of the CPA website.

For your convenience we provide a flyer which you can fill in to get the word out about your meeting. There are several sections which can be filled out with the information about your group, including group name, date and time, place and contact information. To utilize the fillable feature you must have Acrobat Reader. It is recommended to use the tab button in order to get to the next fillable field. Once you have filled the flyer out you will need to save it on your computer under a new name. We hope this helps you let others know about your new CPA meeting.

If you have any questions about starting a new CPA meeting, please email our CPA Meeting Liaison at meeting@chronicpainanonymous.org.

NOTE: All information is for internal use only, and will not be shared. You will be asked in this form if you want the meeting published on the CPA website.

CPA will register any group designating itself as a CPA meeting with the understanding that it will abide by the Traditions and that the meeting will be open to any CPA members.
