The World
Service Conference ("WSC") is the nerve center and voice of
our Fellowship. The WSC is the one time each year when
all
our service branches come together. Unlike all
other branches of C.A. service, the WSC is not an entity, it
is an event.
At the WSC,
the Delegates, the World
Service Board of Trustees, and the
managers and Directors of
the
World Service Office meet to discuss ideas and direction for
the Fellowship of C.A. as a whole. The WSC can
last up to a week; however, the planning and implementation
associated
with the WSC is a year-round proposition.
The Conference
Committee is to provide the planning, organization, logistics,
and
implementation of the Business Conference to include
preparation of the agenda. The Conference Committee will determine
the location of the Conference, which will be
within a 50-mile radius of the World Service Office, unless
otherwise
agreed upon by voting Conference members. All World Service
Conference contracts must be ratified by the
CAWSO Board and executed by two or more board members and/or
Trustees.
Each
Delegate must be knowledgeable about the needs and feelings
of their Area and Region.
From general
meetings at the WSC, the Conference divides into various committees
where all suggestions, questions,
and problems are discussed. These topics include all matters
of importance to C.A. as a whole.
Each Delegate
serves on a designated Conference Committee of his or her own
selection.
It is suggested that each Committee contains
at least one Trustee. Any member of Cocaine Anonymous
may serve and vote on any World Service
Conference Committee, however, each Participant is limited
to voting in one committee. Nondelegates
may serve as Committee officers.
Conference
committee guidelines, policies and procedures are submitted
to the Conference for approval, included
in the Delegates notebooks, and are available to other interested
members of the fellowship.
The Conference Committees
are:
