The principle of rotation is important to adhere to in AA. However, some AA members and groups either don't know about it or don't buy into it.
I suggest the group read the Tradition 2 essay in the 12 and 12 (see John Doe). And the AA pamphlet "The AA Group."
I was in a group that held several meetings per week, with a few meeting chairs who presided for years. Our group conscience considered the issue, instigated by some concerned members, and after a few aborted attempts, eventually a 6 month term for chairing meetings was established. After much stress, actually.
It's been working fine. Lots more opportunities for more members to serve.
It's definitely better for all concerned to not having a few members hog the service opportunities.
The groups I most went to in Georgia rotated chairpersons every month ... there was a 'signup' sheet to chair a specific meet'n ... if the signup sheet got close to a new month without a commitment, then an announcement was made and there was usually no problem getting volunteers ... (both groups had 7 meetings a week)
