New Hope Open Speaker Meeting

Types of AA Meetings

This may include individuals who need help overcoming alcohol addictions as well as friends, relatives, and loved ones interested in how the organization operates.

Speaker: Motivational speakers are an effective tool to reinforce sobriety among members in Minnesota AA programs. Speakers are usually AA alumni and use raw emotions, spirituality, charm, and humor to inspire their listeners.
