CLOSING REPORT
C.A. WORLD SERVICE CONFERENCE 2006
UNITY REPORT
INTRODUCTION AND OPENING COMMENTS
I came to my first conference six years ago and I have been hooked ever since. Many of you here understand that. I am honored to stand among you as a member of this conference and as a member of the Unity committee. I have been blessed to serve on this committee for the past five years. My commitment to this committee has enriched my life in more ways than I ever imagined and more than I can put into words. I have made many lasting friendships and have gained and international family, which is more than I could

COMMITTEE WORK THAT RESULTED IN MOTIONS
It has come to our attention that the Unity Committee guidelines do not reflect our historical duty of creating the theme for the each year’s conference, as well as the duties/requirements of the Archives subcommittee chair position created in 2002. In the spirit of Unity and to maintain consistency in the future, we make the following motions:
- MOTION: To add the following statement to the Unity Guidelines:
It shall be the duty and privilege of the CAWSC Unity Committee to create a unifying theme for each year’s conference. The theme for the upcoming conference will be presented to CAWSC at each conference.
Second.
Chair – any debate? Prepare to vote.
Motion passes unanimously.
- MOTION: To enter the following description to the Unity Guidelines:
Archives Subcommittee Chairperson Requirements: 2 years continuous sobriety Term: 1 year commitment
Duties: To keep digital and hard copies of all available past and current CAWSC Unity meeting minutes, reports and artwork, including that of Unity subcommittees.
Second.
Chair – any debate? Prepare yourselves to vote.

Motion carries with minor opposition with substantial unanimity.
Tish Une – could I see the hands of those attended Unity Lunch? Thank you all for attending. We received wonderful feedback. We thank CALA and San Fernando Valley for their help. Thank Darwin for preparing food. Thank you to Karen from Holland for being our dynamic speaker.
REFERRALS THAT DID NOT RESULT IN MOTIONS
- Referral Number 4851: Add ice cream social to standing rules.
The Unity Committee would be excited to host an ice cream social, during the conference, if allotted time in the conference schedule and if given the financial resources to fund this event, separate from the Unity Luncheon. Due to budget restraints and scheduling limitations there is no action taken.
NEW COMMITTEE STRUCTURE AS OF THIS CONFERENCE
Chair: Willie Bailey
