Complete Information for Annual Business Conference/Meeting (ABC/M)
2009 Annual Business Meeting (ABM)
E. Parrish, Florida, July 14-17.
The Conference Charter Committee (CCC) is responsible for the facilitation of the ABM in cooperation with the Board of Trustees (BOT) and Fellowship-Wide Services (F.W.S.). (The overall implementation is the responsibility of the BOT/F.W.S. due to legal requirements by the state of Texas--the state of incorporation). The CCC creates the agenda, develops the business meeting items to be addressed, generally chairs the ABM, and is liaison for the entire Conference to the BOT/F.W.S.
The Annual Business Conference (ABC) is the once a year event at which S.L.A.A. [group representatives and members of our service structure] convenes to conduct the Annual Business Meeting (ABM). The ABM refers to the actual full-assembly business meetings at the ABC. This portion of the ABC is where members of the Conference ‘provide direction and constancy to Fellowship-Wide Services’ through discussion of issues, brainstorming, and voting. More importantly, the ABC is dedicated to forming community-wide group conscience and supporting service and recovery within the S.L.A.A. program.
The Conference is the voting body of delegate members of S.L.A.A. groups world-wide, members of the Board of Trustees (BOT), senior staff as interpreted by the BOT, members of the F.W.S. Administrative Staff and the Journal Editor’ who together, year round, through delegate-run Conference Committees, the Board Conference [& Convention] Committee and the ABC do the service of being a channel for fellowship-wide group conscience.’ Every S.L.A.A. member is welcome to attend all Conference functions; however, only Conference members will be allowed to vote during the ABM. If you are planning to attend the ABM, but do not wish to act as a Delegate you may need to pay some Conference Fees. All non-business events such as speaker meetings and entertainment are open to everyone at no charge.
