Reminder: WAI Standing Rules of Order Review & Vote – August 9

Please join us for the WAI meeting on Sunday, August 9, 2026 at 8:30 AM PT for the final review and vote on two proposed Standing Rules of Order (SRO) revisions. All are welcome to attend. WAI members with two or more years of continuous abstinence in FA have a voice and vote.

The proposals revise outdated language, align the SROs with current WAI and WSI Bylaws, and include some substantive changes. 

Please take a moment to review the following materials before the meeting. Thanks to member feedback in July, the Bylaws Committee made several minor refinements to improve clarity.

• Main Motion Process for Submission to the World Service Conference – Rationale and Side-by-Side Comparison
• Financial Assistance for Attendance at the World Service Business Convention – Rationale and Side-by-Side Comparison
• Substantial Unanimity FAQ – Prepared in response to questions raised in July.

Please email waibylaws@foodaddicts.org with any questions.

Service comes in many forms—including sharing your creativity! Whether it's a photograph, painting, sketch, digital artwork, or other visual expression, your contribution could inspire fellows around the world. Consider submitting artwork to Connection today. Reminder: When you submit a story by August 1, 2026, you will be entered into a drawing for a FREE digital subscription to Connection magazine! See details here. Thank you!
