From: Linda C., Panel 60 Conference Delegate

Hello, MSCA AA!  

Here are the final conference agenda items for the 2010 General Service Conference in April.  Please check it out and make it available to the members of your groups for discussion.  Please contact me at: delegatepanel60@msca09aa.org with any feedback, concern, or requests for clarification....I will do my best to have or get the answers.

In addition, there is background material available for each agenda item and I am given the opportunity to distribute that material to other interested AA members in our area (MSCA 09).  

So, if you would like background material on one or more of the agenda items, please contact me at delegatepanel60@msca09aa.org and let me know the following:  1) For which item do you want background material?  2) In what form would you like to receive it? (CD? Email attachment? Printed copy?) Note:  If you want a CD or printed copy, please send your snail mail address!  Also, the background material is provided in English, only.  

The background material will not be posted on the website as much of it contains confidential AA documents that contain full names and other personal information.  This material should not be placed in any place accessible to the public and should not be shared with non-AA members.  GSO trusts, as do I, that any one of you who requests background material will treat that which is entrusted to you with all due care and respect.

I look forward to hearing from you and having a good dialogue about the items of interest to you...

Re: 2010 General Conference Theme: “Our Commitment to Carry A.A.’s Message—Enthusiasm and Gratitude in Action

Inspired by the Conference theme, the following presentations/discussion topics will be addressed at the 2010 General Service Conference in New York this April. I have slightly modified the discussion topics to be useful to us in our group/district/committee/assembly work.

A Suggestion: Topic discussion and/or presentations at Area or Intergroup meetings or even topics or sharing at recovery meetings on any or some of the following:

A. Practicing these principles in all our “service” affairs:

1. What is the difference between General Service and service in general?
2. Love and tolerance is our code.
3. Setting an example—attraction to service.

B. Unity through inventory:

1. Our common welfare should come first
2. This we owe to A.A.’s future
3. What happens after inventory?

C. General Service event agenda selection process:

1. How it works
2. Collective participation
3. Communication—The key to an informed decision
 
Duties of the Delegate:
a.   It is the Delegate’s ultimate responsibility to provide the leadership necessary to build a sound service structure in the Area, without which the job of communication from the Groups to the Conference and then back again would be impossible.

b.   The Delegate has the responsibility of attending the General Service Conference, prepared to express the “conscience” of the Area as a result of having presented and discussed the Conference agenda topics throughout the Area during the months preceding the Conference.

c.   During the Conference sessions, it is the Delegate’s responsibility as a trusted servant to carefully evaluate the viewpoints expressed on each subject under discussion and then vote on all questions, not as a representative of a particular Area, but as a member of the Conference whose duty it is to act in the best interests of A.A. as a whole.

d.   After the Conference the Delegate is responsible for reporting for reporting back to the Area in the best way possible to reach all members of A.A. in the Area.

e.   Ongoing Conference duties.

Maintains constant communications during the year with G.S.O. and the General Service Board on information, studies and surveys.

Serves as a member of a specific Conference Committee during the two year tenure.

f.    Attends all Area Assembly and Area Service Committee meetings.

g.   Attends other Area Service functions and visits district meetings as often as possible.

h.   Attends the Pacific Region Alcoholics Anonymous Service Assembly (P.R.A.A.S.A.) and when appropriate, other regional or state service functions.
