White Book shipments in 1999 topped 5,500.

Interfellowship Forum Committee

International Committee

The fellowship outside North America continues to grow

NEEDS:

• (1) New committee members from every country where there are SA members.
• (2) A Spanish-speaking contact person for Spanish-speaking groups in the USA.

Internet Committee

The times, they are a-changing! More inquiries about SA come through the internet and email than by telephone and postal mail.

NEEDS: An email contact person for each SA intergroup area.

Legal Committee

Motion approved to reserve the use of the SA logo for SA-approved literature only. This decision is legally enforceable in the United States. SA relies on the unity of the fellowship to honor this policy in other countries.

NEEDS: New committee members, especially with legal background and experience.

LitCom (Literature Committee)

• LitCom has completed two pamphlets: SA: To the Newcomer and SA As a Resource for the Health & Helping Professional. The General Delegate Assembly postponed a decision on LitCom’s request to submit the two draft brochures to the fellowship for final review. Discussion will continue at the September 2000 General Delegate Assembly in Chicago.

• LitCom is currently working on Member Stories 2000, a new and updated collection of the experience, strength and hope of sober sexaholics. About 35 stories have been collected and are now being edited.

• The next LitCom project will be a new SA 12&12 (12 Steps and 12 Traditions).

• (1) Readers, editors and writers to assist LitCom members in the development of new SA literature. SA sobriety: reader, one year or more; editor, two years or more; writer, three years or more.
• (2) Readers and editors to help with completion of Member Stories 2000.

Nominations Committee

The Nominations Committee is being expanded to help recruit new SA service committee members.

NEEDS: At least one committee member from each SA service region.

RAC (Regional Alignment Committee)

• (2) Members to support SA meetings in prisons.
• (3) Members to correspond with sexaholic inmates.

SSC (Service Structure Committee)

NEEDS: New committee members from every SA service region.

Site Selection Committee

This joint committee with S-Anon selects SA/S-Anon convention sites.
