Conference approved literature, and how to improve and update existing literature to more effectively carry the A.A. message of recovery; to add a voice in the Area 15 Committee by sharing experience and input that creates a more informed Group conscience when voiced at the A.A. General Service Conference.
PROCEDURE:
The Committee holds meetings to discuss any literature changes, based on Group conscience of the Committee members, the Area conscience, or the World Services agenda which is discussed every April. The Chairperson facilitates the District 15 Literature meetings. The Committee provides a literature display at all District 15 events and at the Area 15 Quarterly if the Area requests. The purpose of the display is to create awareness within our District and the Area of what is available from our General Service Office in New York and the local Central Office or Intergroup.
