What the Heck is this all about?!
The Delegates and non-Delegate members of the Fellowship-Wide Services Conference meet once a year at the Annual Business Meeting to discuss and vote upon the business of the Fellowship. Any Intergroup, and any collection of 2 or more S.L.A.A. meetings in the same locality may be represented by one or more Delegates at the Conference. If your Intergroup or area does not have a Delegate, bring it up, volunteer, and come to the ABM! Besides giving you an opportunity to get involved in service at the Fellowship-Wide Services level, the ABM is a great time. If you are interested and need more information than is provided here, email Fellowship Wide Services HERE with 'ABM Question' in the Subject Line .
