ANNOUNCEMENTS

The Convention Planning Committee wants to hear from you!

By July 5th we will be sending out a short five-question survey to any FA member who is subscribed to receive WSI emails. We are asking for your preferences on the format of future business conventions. Your feedback, along with our team of outside professionals, will help inform this crucial decision. The survey will remain open until July 19th and a decision will be made before the end of summer.

Updated version of Living Abstinently: A Guide to the FA Tools booklet is now available

You can also read, download, or purchase a paper copy here. The update, which was approved at the 2022 World Service Business Convention, includes changes to the Meetings and Service tools to include the new telephone and video conference meeting platforms. To read and purchase this and other FA Conference-approved Literature, please click on pamphlets.

Want the EAI Service Support Weekend to come to you in 2024?

Learn more about what this two-day event is all about and the requirements for the application on our website.
