H&I Committee Report
Introduction and Opening Comments:
Since the end of last year’s conference the H&I Committee held monthly conference calls and continued to reach out to our worldwide fellowship in hopes of tracking H&I Panels and to help promote the implementation of C.A. Lifeline Committees. Our committee has continued to reply to request for literature and local meeting and H&I contact information from inmates as well as those in other institutions. The H&I Committee also worked on some annual housekeeping within the Guidelines.

Closing Comments:
The WSC H&I Committee is excited to welcome anyone to our committee who has a desire to help spread the lifesaving message of Cocaine Anonymous to those who aren’t in a position to attend a regular C.A. meeting. Our primary purpose as stated in our Fifth Tradition is still to carry the message to that still suffering addict.
During the 2016 WSC Conference our committee is looking for enthusiastic new members with new ideas on how to get people to transition from institutions and into the fellowship of Cocaine Anonymous. It has been through H&I panels that many of us found our way to the C.A. fellowship and now it is our responsibility to see that others can follow that same path. Our Committee is interested in hearing any concerns pertaining to H&me and welcomes any suggestions or ideas that can help us to better carry the Cocaine Anonymous message.

Graciously submitted,
