Register a NEW EA Group

Register a New EA Group:

Thank you for letting us know that you are starting up a new EA group! 

  • In order to list your meeting on the EA website and in our database the form below must be filled out and submitted. 
  • Once the form has been submitted, our Group Database Coordinator will manually add the group to the website. 
  • Please note, due to very limited staff hours, it may take several weeks for your new meeting to be added to EA's website. Thank you for your patience!

We require members to read through the "New Group Information Packet" (Item #35) before they register a new group, so that they are informed about what starting a new EA group entails.

The "New Group Information Packet" can be emailed to you for free by filling out this form, or a hard copy can be sent to you for free (only paying shipping and handling costs) by ordering it from the online store. 

Please also be aware that only EA-approved materials may be used during EA meetings.

As part of beginning a new EA group, you will likely want to have some EA literature on hand to reference during your meetings, such as:

  • Copies of the EA Yellow Pamphlet (read aloud from during each meeting) for each attendee, 
  • A copy of the EA Big Book (has detailed chapters on each of the 12 steps), 
  • A copy of the Today Book (contains quotes and meditations for each day of the calendar year), and 
  • Newcomer Welcome Kits (small folders of introductory pamphlets, typically gifted to each new EA member at their first meeting).
  • Groups may also keep EA workbooks, individual EA pamphlets on specific topics, or other EA merchandise on hand if members would like to purchase items after a meeting ends. 

EA sells on our online store a "Group Literature Starter Kit" (Item #44) filled with materials to get your group going – and, thanks to generous groups and individuals, there is a scholarship fund that covers 65% of the cost of the kit. New groups pay $15.60 for the materials (plus shipping and handling costs) if they are approved for the scholarship. If they do not apply for and receive the scholarship, the cost of the Group Literature Starter Kit remains $44.00.

  • If you are interested in the new group scholarship and would like an application, you can find that information here. 
  • The application is short, simple, and only one-page. We recommend that groups submit the scholarship application, receive a response, and order the Starter Kit and any other basic materials before they begin meeting!

Please let us know how we can help you as you launch a new meeting and thank you for continuing to keep EA available to all.
