What’s Going On in SA

Report of the General Delegate Assembly
Philadelphia, July 2005

Expansion & Utilization of the SA website:

Moved to task the Internet Committee to strengthen local website meeting information so that the burden of facilitating contact with newcomers and members becomes more of a local function than a SAICO function.
Moved to put the one sheet SAICO brochures in PDF files freely available online in order to reduce storage, printing, and distribution costs.
Moved to add link to SA convention and regional events, if requested, to the website.
Moved to allow SAICO to process credit card payments for registration fees for the international conventions.
Moved to put a list of fellowship approved literature on the SA website.

Literature and ESSAY:

Moved to fellowship approve “Does a Male Have to Have Sex,” pending Trustee confirmation of return to original text.
Moved to direct the Trustees and Literature Committee to obtain the approval of the GDA prior to publishing draft documents for sale to the fellowship.
Moved to direct the Trustees and the ESSAY Committee to obtain the approval of the GDA prior to publishing collections of ESSAY for sale to the fellowship.

Bylaws

Draft SA Service Manual:

Moved that the Service Structure Committee clearly delineate in the Service Manual the distinct and separate roles and duties of the Delegates and Trustees including how they interact and operate. Resolutions proposed by the Regions be decided by the Assembly, and Committee matters be decided by the Trustees.
Draft Service Manual to be sent to Delegates for feedback from those in the Service Structure who will be using the manual.

Terms of Office, Elections, and Affirmations

Moved to change term of office for General Assembly Delegate from two to three years.
Vron is elected Chair of the Delegate Assembly.
Jerry is elected Vice Chair of the Delegate Assembly.
All Trustees were affirmed for another year of service.

We are steadily getting nearer to having enough meditations for the proposed Daily Meditation Book. We need a few more—less than a hundred.

Here is a list of the suggested topics to inspire your writing for the SA Meditation Book:

And whatever else inspires you as you study and meditate on the Twelve Step program of SA and how it has helped your recovery.
