About NHI

NHI seeks to serve the groups that make up their Intergroup by providing services that are beyond the scope or ability of an individual group.

Such services are:

  • Provides insurance to NHI member meetings registered with World Service Office (WSO)
  • Updates the NHI meeting list and makes it available on the NHI website
  • Maintains an answering service.
  • Sponsors retreats, workshops, and special events.
  • Answers e-mail, mail & phone inquiries about OA.
  • Informs medical professionals about OA.
  • Carries the OA message to compulsive overeaters who don’t yet know about the program.
  • Provides information about NHI meetings to visiting OA members.
  • Provides links between local OA and the regional and national levels of OA where policy is set and where literature is developed.
  • Contributes regularly to WSO and Region 6.
Where & When does NHI Meet?

NHI usually meets on the first Sunday of the month from September through June from 2:00PM – 3:30PM on Zoom Conferencing.  Please see our meeting schedule for exact dates.

How Can You Help?

There are several ways you can help NHI carry the OA message:

Give Time

Read about the different service positions available in NHI.

Give Money

Encourage the meeting you attend to make regular donations of their funds to NHI.

The OA Group Handbook suggests sending 60% of excess funds to the local Intergroup, 10% to local Region, and 30% to World Service Office.

Please see our Make a Contribution section for more details.

Individual Contributions

Give what you can when you can. When you make your personal contributions, consider making a tax-deductible contribution to NHI.

Spread the Word

NHI needs everyone’s contribution of “time and money.”

Are You Represented?

Each OA group is encouraged to send a delegate to New Hampshire Intergroup to vote on matters affecting OA and to bring information, flyers, and newsletters back to their home meeting.

Representatives from all groups are needed for NHI to be of the greatest service. PLEASE BE SURE THAT EVERY GROUP YOU ATTEND IS REPRESENTED. If a group has no representation, why not volunteer?

You need not be an elected representative to come to NHI meetings or to give service through our committees. DON’T WAIT FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO DO IT!

Questions?

If you still have questions about NHI or about the work of any of its committees, please call, write, or contact us through our website’s contact form.
