Message from GSO
It has been decided that the three regional directories, Eastern, Western and Canada will be printed in 2014 which will produce the 2014-2015 editions.

Preparation and execution for updating as many group records as possible is critical and driven by a few hard deadlines which are outlined as follows:

1. Friday, May 9th will be the date when the GSO files are pulled for directory proofs. This means that all group updates entered into the FNV database and those hard copy updated received by Friday, May 9, 2014 will be included in the proofing and editing process and will be included in the directories.

Report from Delegate Chair Weekend in NYC | February 26, 2014

by

I was honored to represent Area 53 Central and Southeastern Ohio in New York at the January 31 – February 3 General Service Board (GSB) Weekend. As you know I will represent the feelings of AAs in Area 53 at the 64th General Service Conference (GSC) where AA decides how to best carry the message as a whole.

I was chosen at the 63rd General Service Conference(GSC) to be the Delegate Chair for this year’s GSC Committee on Cooperation with the Professional Community(CPC). That meant I would be a guest of the General Service Board (GSB) and the General Service Office(GSO) the weekend of January 31 – February 3, 2014.

That weekend was a combination orientation to the chair’s role and a weekend of sharing and learning more about our AA yearly Conference to be held April 27 – May 3, 2014.
