Who's in charge?

Tradition Two helps us to sort out the always-tricky question:" Who is in charge?" After I came out of my alcoholic fog and looked around at the meetings, meeting rooms and members, I had a lot of questions. I needed to know who decided how meetings would be run, who the speakers would be and how the collection was spent. After attending meetings for a while, I noticed that there is quite a lot of menial labor required to keep the meetings running and the rooms open. Who does it and why? I'm sure I'm not the only one who came in with questions like these. But I was genuinely surprised as I learned the answers. AA is different from any other organization I've encountered. I'm as amazed today as I was then about how and why the Fellowship works.
