DELEGATE'S "El Gazette Online" - MAIN PAGE

Area 9 Florida North

Hello Panel 61! Hola Panel 61! Bonjour Panel 61!

It is with great joy and excitement that I will be
serving as your new Delegate for this Florida
North Panel 61 for the next 3 years. As your
Delegate, I will bring information to all the
members of Area 9 related to the World Service
Office (WSO). The Delegate will attend the World Service Conference (WSC) every year and will bring back information and decisions to the Area members. During the year 2020, it was proven to us that Al-Anon is a program capable to adapt to the changes that affect all of its members. New committees are created and the Knowledge Based Decision Making (KBDM) has proven to be a great tool for all of us. I am very excited for all the learning experiences ahead and invite you to read all the information that is posted, which will answer many of your questions related to WSO, Trustees, Conference, and many other reports and presentations.

World Service Conference (WSC)

Al-Anon’s annual business meeting, attended by all Delegates from the World Service Conference Structure; representatives from other countries; members of the Board of Trustees and Executive Committee, and the World Service Office (WSO) administrative staff and other office personnel.
The Conference provides guidance to the WSO
in service matters brought to its attention. Please visit the WSC page where you will find
documents, presentations, and information
provided by the World Service Conference. For
the next 3 years, I will be attending WSC every
April.

World Service Office (WSO)

Many services are provided to groups all over the world by our World Service Office. The WSO is made up of service volunteers and paid staff
members. Here is where many questions, discussions and projects are coordinated so that our spiritual principles of Unity, Respect and Responsibility are encouraged throughout the world. It is often a surprise, and joy, to realize that we are not alone in our recovery – not our family, our Group, or our District. Here you will find sharings, documents, and information from our World Service Office that may help you feel more connected to our worldwide fellowship. As your Delegate, I will be the connection with the World Service Office.

Board of Trustees

The Trustees, along with the members of the
Executive Committee, direct the business operations of the World Service Office, observing the By-Laws of Al-Anon Family Groups Headquarters, Inc. They are concerned with guarding the legal rights of the Al-Anon fellowship and in general acting as the chief service arm of the World Service Conference. The Trustees provide legal standing and represent our fellowship in our dealings with the outside world. In this section, you will find the Trustee Guidelines and Resume Form along  with information about opportunities to serve on various committees. You will also find the Chairman of the Board letters which are issued after each Board meeting – and keep us informed of activities that the Board is taking on our behalf. You can read more about the Board of Trustees in the Service Manual pp. 168-171.
