General Information:
INTRODUCTION:
The World Service Conference (WSC) is the annual business meeting of Debtors Anonymous. It is where General Service Representatives (GSRs), Intergroup Service Representatives (ISRs), and the General Service Board (GSB) Trustees gather to review the state of the D.A. Fellowship, work on topics like new D.A. literature concepts and new outreach methods, and vote on important issues affecting D.A. All registered D.A. groups, including Intergroups, may send one representative to the WSC.
Registering for this conference is a yearlong commitment to attend all the required sessions of the Conference, and then monthly business meetings of the Committee and optional Caucus, that you sign up for. Bring your availability for conference calls for the next year to the World Service Conference so you can make an informed commitment for Committee participation.
