One of SA’s 18 committees that helps to carry the message and serve the fellowship is the Support for Institutions and Professionals Committee (SIP). Formerly, it was called the Hospitals and Institutions Committee. Our mission is still the same, to inform institutions and professionals as to how SA can help restore and maintain their clients’ mental, emotional, and spiritual health. This committee’s service is designed to take place at the intergroup and regional levels. Our International SIP Committee provides materials and guidance on how to reach local professionals and institutions. This article gives an example of how it can be done at the local level.
SA has a set of Trustee Committees (see Concept 11) that provide advice and perform tasks on behalf of the Trustees. The Information Technology (IT) Committee is commissioned to develop and maintain the sa.org website. This website is often the first contact newcomers have with our fellowship and serves as a hub for providing information, literature, and services to all SA members. We would like to keep it in tip-top shape.
The fellowship is in a difficult position. We suffered a pullback of contributions during 2024. This forces us to dip into prudent reserves, and we face a shortfall of cash. Our prudent reserve target represents six months of expenses at the Central Office. We need your help to collect contributions, increase personal commitment, and get cash back to SAICO. SA saved our lives; let us commit to save SA’s lifeblood. Thank you.

Supe desde el comienzo de mi viaje en SA que nuestro fundador, Roy K., escribió Sexólicos Anónimos (el "Libro Blanco") y luego supe que también escribió La Recuperación continua, Descubriendo los principios y varios folletos de SA. Sin embargo, durante muchos años, me pregunté quién escribe toda nuestra otra maravillosa literatura SA y qué implica el proceso de publicación. Entonces surgió la oportunidad de hacer servicio internacional, y me ofrecí como voluntario para unirme al Comité de Literatura.
I knew from the start of my journey in SA that our founder, Roy K. wrote Sexaholics Anonymous (the “White Book”) and then later learned that he also wrote Recovery Continues, Discovering the Principles, and several SA pamphlets. However, for many years, I wondered who writes all our other wonderful SA literature and what’s involved in the publication process. Then the opportunity arose to do international service, and I volunteered to join the Literature Committee.
Dès le début de mon cheminement dans SA, j'ai su que notre fondateur, Roy K., avait écrit Sexoliques Anonymes (le « Livre Blanc ») et j'ai appris plus tard qu'il avait également écrit Le Rétablissement Se Poursuit, Découvrir les Principes, et plusieurs brochures de SA. Cependant, pendant de nombreuses années, je me suis demandé qui écrivait tous les autres merveilleux ouvrages de SA et ce qu'impliquait le processus de publication. Puis l'occasion s'est présentée de rendre un service international, et je me suis porté volontaire pour rejoindre le comité de littérature.
عرفتُ منذ بداية رحلتي في س.م أنّ مؤسّسنا، روي ك، ألّفَ كتاب سكيري الجنس المجهولين ( الكتاب الأبيض )، ثم علمتُ لاحقاً بأنه ألّف كتابَ "التعافي يستمر"، و"مكتشفاً المبادئ"، والعديد من مطويات س.م الأخرى، وعلى أيةِ حال، لسنوات طويلة، أنا تساءلت عن هوية الاشخاص الذين يكتبون كل مؤلفات س.م الأخرى المذهلة، وما الذي يحدث خلال عملية النشر، ثم برزت فرصة القيام بالخدمة الدولية، فتطوعت للخدمة في لجنة المؤلّفات.
