NNJGS Area 44
2008 Mini-Conference
Topics and Discussion Items
 

TOPIC I: FINANCE

  1. Assuming the General Service Conference recommends funding of the General Service Office be done solely through group and member contributions, which services do you wish to cut? (Note: In 2006 and prior years GSO was not fully self supporting; see financial report attached)
     

  2. Should Alcoholics Anonymous consider accepting outside contributions
    to cover the shortfall of group and member contributions?

TOPIC II: GRAPEVINE

  1. Less than 9% of the membership for US and Canada subscribe to the Grapevine Magazine; 73% of those are 50 years of age or older. How do we make the magazine attractive to a more diverse population of the membership?

TOPIC III: PUBLIC INFORMATION

  1. Does the proposed text on posthumous anonymity for the pamphlet “Understanding Anonymity” (P-47) meet the needs of the fellowship?
     

  2. Consider the need for a wall poster for use in school guidance counselors’
    offices.


TOPIC IV: TREATMENT FACILITIES

  1. Should the Bridging the Gap pamphlet (P-49) be updated to include
    Corrections service work?

TOPIC V: TRUSTEES

  1. Does the recommended update to Nominating Procedure No. 9 (Guidelines for Hiring the General Manager GSO) clarify requirements related to length
    of service?
