GSR Preamble: We are the General Service Representatives. We are the link in the chain of communication for our groups with the General Service Conference and the world of A.A. We

realize that the ultimate authority in A.A. is a loving God as He may express Himself in our group conscience. As trusted servants, our job is to bring information to our groups in order that

the group can reach an informed group conscience. Passing along this group conscience we are helping to maintain the unity and strength so vital to our fellowship. Let us, therefore, have

the patience and tolerance to listen while others share, the courage to speak up when we have something to share, and the wisdom to do what is right for our groups and A.A. as a whole.

A reminder for 7th Tradition contributions to CNIA: Don’t forget to include your group’s name, GSO ID and to sign the check! Please mail to: CNIA, P.O. Box 161712, Sacramento, CA 95816-1712

MARCH CHAIR REPORT

We held our first Area Committee Meeting of 2013 on Satur-

day, February 16th at the East Yolo Fellowship in West Sacra-mento. After a few of the usual reports, we went right into

our discussion topics. The first topic was the possibility of an appointed Young People in Alcoholics Anonymous (YPAA)

Chair. The participation was both passionate and emotional. It was decided that we don’t have to decide right away.

There are other options to evaluate. The beauty of the dis-

cussion was the fact that new ideas are surfacing on how we can help carry the message to the alcoholic who still suffers.

The second topic involved changing our process of how we inform our Delegate at the Pre-Conference Assembly. Most

of us felt our process is unique and wonderful and an awe-

some opportunity to give our Delegate our Group’s thoughts and opinions.

Just before lunch, Michael K, Alternate Chair, presented a DCM school. Michael emphasized the importance of Concept

IX and our responsibilities as links in the chain of communi-cation.

The highlight of our day was listening to our Delegate, Lela,

present the Final Agenda Items. Yay!

We only have a few weeks to distribute

our agenda items to

our groups and dis-tricts and get our

group’s and district’s ideas and opinions

back to our Dele-gate. Each DCM

received a CD con-

taining the Agenda background materi-

bly is hosted by District 47 and will be held in Lemoore on

April 6th and 7th. Please register early.

The rest of the day was devoted to the appointed chair,

area officer, and DCM reports. We really did have a lot of fun with lots of laughter. We are NOT a glum lot.

Just a couple of announcements: Don’t forget to register

for the 66th NCCAA Annual Summer Conference in Foster City on June 7th, 8th, and 9th. Our very own, Nancy M, DCM

from District 29, will be the Young People Speaker at 3:30 pm on Saturday. Please let me know if you plan on attend-

ing.

The second announcement concerns our liability insurance

situation. Our current policy expires at the end of March

2013. The insurance company informed us that our insur-ance needs exceed what their policy covers. The bottom

line is we need to find a new company that specializes in non-profit organizations. We are in the process of getting

estimates from several agencies and we will keep you in-

formed. More will be revealed!

I also want to announce we have a new Finance Commit-

tee Chair, Jon C, DCM from District 27. And our newest committee member to be appointed is Steve C, DCM from

District 9. Our Finance Committee is complete. Yay! We are still looking for a couple of people to participate in our

E-Services Committee. If you are interested, please see

me.

This is an exciting time in General Service. There is a lot of

work to be done. The two things I try to remember when it seems to get overwhelming is that we don’t do this alone

and we do the best we can.

Thank you for letting me be of service. Vikki L

THE ROLE OF THE GSR WITH

REGARDS TO THE GENERAL SERVICE CONFERENCE

Each day sober in Alcoholics Anonymous is a miracle, but

the period between December and the end of April is in-credibly special for those of us in General Service. This is

the time when we receive the Preliminary Agenda items

from our Delegate, followed soon afterwards by the Final Agenda. Keeping in mind that the Conference is a year-

round process, in many cases we’ve already been aware of some of the items. These are topics that affect A.A. unity,

health and growth. The GSR is responsible for providing

their group with enough information for it to develop an informed group conscience. The GSR then has the respon-

sibility to express their group’s opinions and ideas on those topics to our Delegate who brings them to the General Ser-

vice Conference. The GSR has the job of linking his or her group with A.A. as a whole.

This may seem like a daunting task at first. There is so

much information! Sometimes it is really hard to know

where to begin, what to emphasize and how to get people

involved.

I had a little over a year sobriety when I was elected my

group’s Alternate GSR. I was honored to be selected. (I didn’t know no one else wanted the job.) Then two weeks

later, our GSR resigned and I automatically became the

new GSR. This all occurred in February, about two weeks before PRAASA. Suddenly, I was given a lot of responsibil-

ity! My group expected me to attend every event at PRAA-SA and give them a full report. They expected me to know

what the agenda topics were and what they meant. They even had the nerve to ask me to make it exciting.

This is what I learned. In order for me to make the agen-

da topics “exciting”, I first had to be enthusiastic about them. It was my responsibility to show them how the

agenda items applied to them as a group, an individual, and Alcoholics Anonymous as a whole.

I did not attempt to discuss with my group EVERY agenda

item with ALL the background material. I allowed my group to decide what mattered to them the most. Then I

planned. Timing was important. I decided to have my Agenda Topic Meeting immediately following our business

meeting and I encouraged people to bring a dish or a des-sert. The meeting went very well. I gave them the infor-

mation they needed in order to form an informed group

conscience and I brought their ideas back to our Delegate. It was and is an amazing process.

Over the years, I have heard many other methods of con-ducting an Agenda Topic Meeting. It is important to find

out what your group would like to do. The more people

who participate, the better!

The bottom line is the General Service Conference is acting

for A.A. as a whole only to the extent that the GSR keeps the Group informed and can gather and communicate the

conscience of the Group.

The important thing is to not get overwhelmed. If you get stuck, do something really hard and ask for help.

When I was elected GSR, I had no idea how getting in-volved in General Service would affect my life. I was just

happy to be of service. Today I realize the other benefits: Maturity, integrity, responsibility, dependability, the thrill of

participating, lasting friendships, and a quality of sobriety

that I never thought I could have. I would not have missed it for the world.

With love and gratitude, Vikki L

tation for PRAASA 2017 in SACRAMEN-

TO!

H&I – Woody R, Liaison to CNIA –

At the Applegate meeting there was ongoing discussion and approval of a

motion regarding travel re-

imbursement (.15 / mile) for H&I com-mittee members. An ad hoc commit-

tee is re-doing the pink pamphlet for to make it more understandable.

CCF – Tamera K, Assistant Chair – Spring Fling is at Doubletree February

22-24. The 2014 60th Anniversary for

OLD BUSINESS

TWO DISCUSSION ITEMS

Possible Appointed YPAA Chair

Regina K – We are looking how the

budget will not be affected as much.

We anticipated $1500-$2200/year for

expenses depending on distance to various meetings. We thought there is

a possibility that the current DCM could be Chair of YPAA; similar to Alt-

Chair (formerly BTG), Alt-Delegate

(also PI/CPC), with the same rotation of 2 years. A recap of the responsibili-

ties for the position are:

1. Encourage groups, committees,

and/or districts to elect GSRs. 2. Maintain an updated list of Com-

mittee, District and Group YPAA

GSRs. 3. Maintain supplies of literature ap-

propriate for Young People in AA. 4. Correspond with active YPAA com-

mittees in Area 07 and be a gate-

way into Area service and partici-pation, helping others to get in-

volved. 5. Give written or verbal reports

monthly at Area Committee Meet-ings or at Area Assemblies, an-

nouncing YPAA committee meet-

ings, events, and conferences. 6. Set up displays at Area functions,

District functions, and other events that don't conflict with Area and

District.

7. Assist Districts and Local Entities in forming YPAA Groups and/or com-

mittees. 8. Coordinate with DCMs and Area

Officers to conduct and attend

workshops on Young People in AA. 9. Turn over receipts and mileage to

the Area Treasurer. 10. If requested, attend events other

than those budgeted for, inquiring about reimbursement of mileage

and/or lodging.

11. Attend all Assemblies

The main goal is to have more com-

munication fluency throughout the Ar-ea with Young People.

Pre-Conference Assembly Group Consciences on Agenda

Items Discussion Item made by Mary O, GSR, D20, Wednesday’s Women’s Big Book Study at Winter Assem-bly in January 2013 – I propose

that the GSRs send their meet-ing’s information regarding the

Agenda Items to the Delegate and the Recording Secretary two

weeks before the Pre-Conference

CNIA AREA ACCENTS Vol. 39 No. 3 Page 4 MARCH2013

Assembly. The information could

be tallied and distributed at the Assembly. Then the Pre-

Conference Assembly could be de-voted to discussing each Agenda

Item in depth for the Delegate to

take to New York. It would be more productive use of our time,

and the Delegate could get more complete information to take to

New York.

History and purpose of CNIA procedure

was given along with other comments.

To be continued with more discussion.

DCM SCHOOL by MICHAEL K

ALTERNATE CHAIR

Cynthia B, DCM D32, read the respon-sibilities of a District Committee Mem-

ber from the General Service Manual, page S-32. Mike K, Alternate Chair,

gave his experience(s) and examples

as a DCM. He emphasized the pur-pose of a Service Sponsor who has had

experience and one you can check out before taking whatever action. He

explained that the Area Handbook has

responsibilities throughout the sec-tions. More information is available on

Box 4-5-9; A.A.W.S. Highlights; aa.org Guidelines; Grapevine Archives; and,

Concept 9 in the General Service Man-

ual that describes the 4 attributes of a good leader – tolerance, responsibility,

flexibility and vision.

DELEGATE’S REPORT by LELA M

(delegate@cnia.org)

If you wish to inform me with your

thoughts on the Agenda Items via email you may do so. CDs are availa-

ble with the background. Please do

not post publicly or forward the infor-mation, there are 1st and last names

and other info only for A.A. members.

At the Pre-Conference Assembly I

would like to hear discussion, ideas,

concerns, minority opinions, love and every thought each person has about

the item. Since I am a member of the

Literature Committee, I especially want

your feedback on each of the items. Listed are some of the Agenda Items

and questions for your GSRs to discuss with their groups.

Agenda A and B – Come up with ide-

as and suggestions

CPC – A through D – how are we

doing and what works best?

Corrections – A and D – review draft

– what suggestions to the new text? How effective are we using BTG, H&I,

Intergroups/Central Offices? What

ways are we using to do the 12 Step work?

Finance – A and B and C – Cost is approximately $6,000/delegate for the

General Service Conference. Confer-

ence increased Area contributions from $1200 to $1600. Should CNIA in-

crease our contribution? Should we keep it the same? Self-support and

the spiritual focus – does it give new life to purpose and support? Sustaina-

bility? What can be effective to oth-

ers? Should we adopt a logo, symbol or phrase as a possibility? Do we rely

more on literature and not self-support? Concern of decline of contri-

butions – are we responsible? Could

changing the Sponsorship pamphlet help?

Grapevine – A thru C – Audio ad-missions began in January 2013 and

voicemail is a flat rate of $12 per

month. All members are invited to call in their story to Grapevine. LaVina is

not totally supporting yet even though increased contributions. Grapevine

book topics for 2014 could be Making Amends, How I found my Higher Pow-

er and Steps 4 and 5.

Literature – A thru F – There are 2 suggested titles for pamphlet on spirit-

uality: 1) AA is Spiritual but not Reli-gious, and 2) A Power Greater than

Ourselves, Spiritual Experiences of AA

Members. Be sure to read all the background for adding an index to Big

Book and subtitle ‘None Left Behind’. There is more background to consider.

Policy/Admissions – Changing the deadline for the submission of Agenda

Items from January 15 to December

15 gives GSO more time to assemble

and prepare for us. We will need to

send our ideas by December 15 in-stead of January 15.

Public Information – C thru E – Short Form of Tradition 11 – some

thoughts of revising. Currently there is

no mechanism in place for the whole world; therefore it would most likely

establish an ad hoc committee; and approximate postage cost would ex-

ceed $100K to conduct this. Public Information Committee has recom-

mended to not have a Facebook page

adhering to Traditions. A.A.W.S. is asking for permission to use online

stores to sell and distribute digital A.A. literature such as Apple/Barnes&Noble/

KOBO/Amazon, etc.

Report & Charter – A5 and A6 – Consider the text on “spirit of rota-

tion.” And that Area Registrar would be revised to update qualifications and

skills, time, management, computer, etc.

Special Needs – E and F – Meeting

places accessible to all alcoholics and helping groups to prepare for deaf/

hard of hearing alcoholics.

Trustees – GSB’s proposed plan for

AAWS and AA Grapevine Board chang-

ing current practices and participation by Directors.

Archives – A-C – Consider revising video Markings on the Journey, having

a 75th Anniversary Edition of 1st Edition

of BB for April 2014, and posting ar-chival audio recordings on GSOs web-

site.

APPOINTED CHAIR REPORTS

Accents Publisher – ac-cents@cnia.org -- Mary O – Last

ten to you via a headset. A BTG

presentation was given at D54’s 17th Anniversary in January. We hosted

was possibly successful.
