CHAIR  REPORT

WSOB Chair–Randy G.

• I spend time every week at the WSO office. Jonathan and I have now been joined by Karmen on Wednesday afternoons to meet once a week with Tai to go over finances, sign checks and discuss the implementation progress of our new platforms. Karmen is a welcomed addition to the weekly meeting and has kept the three of us from physically harming each other when we’re together.
• Gary and I had our “chair to chair” call and I participated in the monthly Conference Committee meeting.
• It’s exciting to announce that we have formalized contracts with our webmaster and our bookkeeper. Both of these are absolutely essential to our health and well-being as a board andI’mglad to have them sealed and delivered.
• We have also finished a high intensity revolving door of interviews for the open DAL positions.I’mlooking forward to putting together our slate for candidates to be moved on to the WSBT.
• Special thanks to Tai and Jonathan for helping me stay somewhat current. Tai has me hopping from zoom to zoom assisting the WSO in getting our international fellowship up to speed and understanding of our intellectual properties and agreements for distribution. Morten has played a big part in getting the great participation and feedback that we’ve received. Jonathan has politely carried on with some of the treasurer’s duties of reporting to this board while we get our board squared away and I really appreciate that additional effort as he gets his feet underneath him as the WSOT as well.

VICE-CHAIR REPORT (No report provided)

TREASURER (No report provided)

SECRETARY’S REPORT – Kimberley C

Highlights:

• I apologise as I thought I uploaded my report in time for WSOB meeting Nov 17.
• I plan to set time aside this week to review the documents on the external drive in order to update documents.
• I attempted to attend the H&I committee; there was a problem with the link.
• However, I spoke with Candice the Vice Chair and she advised that most of the subcommittees had not even met yet. There was an understanding about their budget. They haven’t really addressed their new projects yet.
• Spoke with Wesley and Morton about an idea to create a‘guide’for new Directors.

Yours in Service Kimberley C,

DIRECTOR OF CONV & CONF–Jesse G.

Highlights:

• CAWS 2026–Florida Chair: Timeline on track.
• Treasurer: All major items under budget and will be continued to be monitored.
• Fundraising: All major categories are under budget, with positive variances across the board. Next Steps: Focusing on Fundraising Activities during the next 6 months.
• Registration: 281 total registrants; Royal 48% of total registrations. 144 banquets and 172 breakfasts. Special events selling well.
• Program: 8 confirmed workshops.
• Speakers: All 11 speakers have confirmed and sent back letters. Co-Anon has confirmed attendance. 3 children’s events; working on bid.
• Special events: Old Town–37; Kayak–29; K1- 11; Gatorland–20; Fun Run–8; Pickleball–3; Golf–4; BBQ & Blues–30.
• Hotel/Convention: 25% of booked nights = 2000 room nights. 90 days prior to event for credit application. 14 days prior to event full schedule. 6 months prior to event is BEO order check. 14 days prior final cut off for BEO’s.

WSC Conference 2026/2027:

• 2026/2027 contracts fully executed.
• Have sent contracts to Stevie Ray signed by WST for him to review and sign; still waiting.
• Have received potential addendums regarding the following items–additional rooms, ice cream prices, boxed lunch prices – but waiting on word from WST as to how many room nights the TNC/WSBT would be willing to commit to be efficient in the process. . . . still waiting and I am still waiting;

7| P a g e

• UPDATE: received email from WST stating “Just wanted to let you know that there is a lot of confusion with this so we are going to deal with it when we are in person for our quarterly the first weekend in December. I will let you know as soon as I can.”

My Concerns/Response:

• 1. We have gone over our room block the last 3 years and that needs to be modified definitely for 2026;
• 1a. maybe for 2027 depending or not as to whether the areas are sending less delegates due to the motion that affects their representation on the conference floor due to a motion that passed in 2022 that requires an Area to have more than 50 (I do not know exact number) of meetings to send 3 delegates.
• If we do not address 1 and 1a above, after a certain number of nights, we are subjecting the fellowship to paying above the contracted rate or having to seek lodging elsewhere. In 2025, the last few reserved rooms were reserved for 139.00 vs the 130.00 contracted rate. It is the Conference Committee that bear the consequences of that – they get the calls and emails from members complaining and yelling about the unfairness of it all. If an attendee decides or is forced to seek lodging elsewhere, that is a $17 room rebate that C.A. misses out on ($10 from the hotel and $7 from visit Irving). Additionally, after we meet the room block; the hotel no longer allows for anyone to reserve a room and I have to call to Teresa to ask for more rooms so they know when we have reached our limit and someone from above has to approve it and re-open the room block.

• 2.We need to solidify food prices that were not addressed in the original contract for the obvious reasons.

• Hopefully, the trustees have started researching if their areas will be affected or not as to the number of delegates that will be attending in 2027 and that will be different from previous years.”

• Have already received RFPs from them for 2028 and 2029, but these may need to be adjusted for the number of room nights as well.

CAWS 2027–Washington State:

• No report.

CAWS 2028–Scotland Area:

• Chair: We have 28 subcommittee chairs in place. Logo passed by both boards.
• Treasurer: Finalizing European bank account. T-shirt and hoodie fundraiser. Looking into insurance for black tie boxing event.
• Hotel liaison: Received updated RFP, and proposed menu plan and options at £40, £50,£60 from EEIC. The £40+vat=£48 Burns Supper Buffet includes (please google what this is) ‘haggis neeps and tatties’ (veggie haggis option available), side salads and will also include a “cake bite” sweet treat. Coffee will be a supplement of £3.00+vat pp. This price is based on min 450 guests and max 570 guests. This price is lower as less staff will be required to serve buffet style.

8| P a g e

• Additional charges: Printer £350+paper; Wired Internet £350; Waste, recycling and landfill £480 per 6.1 skip meter container (wtf?).
• NEW BUDGET NEEDED: I spoke with Jo M., 2028 treasurer and she is going to work up a new budget since the convention is moving towards a venue and not a hotel.

WSC Conference Committee (WSCCfC):

• Working on new referrals. Hotel loves us. 184 open referrals and allegedly, 34 of them are ours.

WSC Convention Committee (WSCCvC):

• Will be electing chair for 2029 by November per the guidelines; the final slate will be chosen by the Area on 10.18.25 and be posted to the WSCCC chat at that time. Too soon to expect 2029 to have a report other than that.

Bid Vetting Committee:

• Will commence in Feb of 2026.

RFP Committee:

• Jay F is chair of RFP committee. Amending proposal to be more fitting due to increased attendance, etc. Please join us. First meeting is schedule for 11.22.25 at 10 am Pacific.
• ILAS, Jesse G

DIRECTOR AT LARGE–Jason S. Highlights:

• Attended: Regular WSOB meetings, WSC IT, WSOB ADHOC. Participated in some of the Interviews.
• WSCIT: Discussion about Ai CHAT Bots, etc. We decided to move forward with an AI managed/branded CA sponsor solution. (Just Kidding). The it.ca.org website. They couldn’t really see a need nor the member to manage. They voted to take it down. It is currently just a landing page that redirects to ca.org. A new version of the meeting has been published to both stores.
• Ad HOC Tech & Website Committee: Web: Lots of zooms. / Lots of meeting reschedules. A Beta site is on an azure platform. Beta site is published to a Ca owned platform. There are some weird glitches that we are working out. In the interim we are deploying a site for Joe to edit things on. Meeting pages and the fellowship/service pages are still under development.
• CRM: Meeting with Dawn next week to review Shopify and Hubspot. I have been working out the most efficient way to get more information from folks who order from the shop.

9 | P a g e

• Captain Obvious: HS reports suggest we sell a lot of pamphlets. We can’t possibly be breaking even. Just a hunch. Do we consider making a bigger push for NA self- publishing? If that is what Tai has been doing this whole time… then clearly i should start paying more attention.

DIRECTOR AT LARGE–Wesley B.

Highlights:

• Attended: Regular WSOB meeting, European PI, North American PI.
• PI Updates: Europe continues to struggle with attendance/participation. Sweden did attend.
• They are working on a podcast–information was shared on past experience (with radio in NY and podcast plans elsewhere), current state of podcast guidelines, and potential. issues. Their plan is a speaker sharing experience strength and hope (like was done in NY for a monthly radio appearance).

• European PI Summit will be in Ireland during Euro Convention (3/18-22).
• North American PI was well attended–continuing efforts to reach out to every Area to bring them into Regional and World PI; participation has been steadily increasing.
• Discussed plans for North American Summit (in Phoenix 3rd week of Feb–I believe it’s AZ Area Convention?).
• World PI is promoting survey to get updated data.
• Biannual Conference Working Group: Wasn’t able to attend subgroup session, but just to share–LTP Chair clarified (strongly) that the only option for consideration would be a biannual conference (primarily to save costs). Only to mention that by itself, there are a lot of reservations within the working groups to a solely biannual gathering.
• WSOB: Participated in interviews for Director candidates. In contact with Kenny to work with him on NewsGram.

In Love and Service, Wesley B

DIRECTOR AT LARGE–Morton V. Highlights:

• Attending: Royalties and licenses meeting with South Africa area; Royalties and licenses meeting with Belgium, Germany, France, Switzerland and Greece areas; DAL interviews; Archives monthly meeting; Translation meeting; WSOB meeting 15th of November.

• Royalties and licenses meeting: Together with our DOO and WSOB chair we had a meeting with the South Africa area. As the other meetings this has a positive effect. I will continue to encourage the MER areas to have these meetings.
• Royalties and licenses meeting with Europe: Another successful meeting. What was special at this meeting was that there were so many different countries participating at the

10 | P a g e

same time. Our DOO has worked hard to get all the royalties and licenses agreements signed and although we are not completely there, we are getting closer.

• DAL interviews: It has been an interesting and educational process to be part of. I am looking forward to next part of this process.
• Archives monthly meeting: The Chair and secretary of archives will come to Arizona from the 28th of january to the 5th february. I still plan to visit Arizona and the office around the same time. They will also visit the archives of Phoenix to get more knowledge of humidity.

• Translation meeting: DOO information meeting. Next meeting is the 10th of December.
• Ideas: DAL Orientation for new directors?; Create a template for directors report?; Merchandise from the WSO? Could i do something in Europe? WSO could create a merchandise committee and sell merch both online and at world conference and convention. I would be willing to do this at both events. Replica t-shirts from the first world convention would be awesome and would sell big time, i think.
• Freedom Fund: what can we do better? Should WSO be present at bigger conventions? Tai has sent me the approved flyer.

• Open/Closed: O
• Committee Selected: World Service Office Board
• Current Committee: World Service Office Board
• Summary of Referral: Divide the Director of Conventions and Conferences into 2 positions by renaming a DAL as Director of Conventions and Conferences 2. Considering that RFP’s for Conference hotels are done every 2 years, The DoCaC 1 and 2 will split Conference duties as follows:

1. 1. DoCaC 1 to deal with the hotel contracts that have already been signed by the WST to include contractual issues, addendums, etc.
   2. DoCaC 2 to lead/serve the next RFP committee; and then deal with the 2 years of contracts that are a direct result of the RFP committee;
   3. DoCaC 1 and 2 to then alternate leading/serving on RFP committee and deal with those contracts;
   4. DoCaC 1 and 2 to alternate attending monthly WSCC Committee.

In order to not increase expenses to the WSOB budget the DoCaC 1 and 2 duties regarding the conventions should be divided as follows:

1. The DoCaC 1 would also be responsible for even convention years’ contracts, steering meeting attendance, guidance and subsequently would only be financially covered for travel, lodging, per diem and related expenses to even year conventions. DoCaC 1 would also be responsible for chairing the Bid Vetting committee for the even year petitions.
2. The DoCaC 2 would be responsible for odd convention years’ contracts, steering meeting attendance, guidance and subsequently would only be financially covered for travel, lodging, per diem and related expenses to even year conventions. DoCaC 2 would also be responsible for chairing the Bid Vetting committee for the odd year petitions. (See pages 69-70 of the WSM)

DoCaC 1 and 2 to meet prior to WSOB meetings to discuss issues and keep each other informed. DoCaC 1 and 2 would fulfill all other director responsibilities including but not limited to attending WSOB meetings, turning in written reports, serve on the spending committee., etc.
