Dear GreySheeters,
The Board had the first meeting of the New Year on January 9, 2010, with new board members attending and liaison assignments to intergroups being made. The new liaison assignments are:
- Joel to Connecticut and Massachusetts
- Joy to the Southeast U.S.
- Becky to Southwest U.S.
- Theda to NYC Metro
- Steph to the Midwest U.S.
The major focus of the Board continues to be support of the preparation for the World Service Conference in August 2010 in Chicago. Reports were made on the development of the Committees that will bring recommendations to be voted upon by the delegates to the World Service Conference. The Committees are led by a Board member with a writer and delegate participants developing the recommendations. The Committees and the Board assignments are:
- Finance - Joy
- GSA Structure - Theda, Ralph, Mary
- World Service Conference - Esther Helga, Marvin
- Literature - Ari
- Public Information - Becky
- Meeting Protocol - Joel, Joy
- Information Technology - Steph
GSRs with three years of abstinence can volunteer to participate in the Committee work by contacting Esther Helga who makes the Committee assignments. Esther Helga is Chair of the GSAWS Board, and she chairs the Service Committee that has overseen the pre-World Conference planning process.
January 16, 2010 is the first open meeting with the GSAWS Board, GSRs, and Delegates for the World Service Conference. The purpose of this meeting is to further communication between the fellowship and the Board.
All GSRs and Delegates to the WSC are invited to be there.
February 7, 2010 is the next joint meeting of the Delegates to the World Service Conference and the GSAWS Board. This group will be meeting regularly as a run-up to the World Service Conference in August 2010.
Financial Reports are posted on the GSA website under World Services, Seventh Tradition Donations. An annual report for 2009 is being prepared and will appear on the website when completed. The Board has asked our treasurer to arrange for an audit of finances to be complete for presentation to the Delegates at the World Service Conference.
The Literature Committee is looking for a volunteer in the NYC region to serve on the Distribution Committee. The Distribution Committee oversees the mailing of literature.
