Northern California Events
Al-Anon’s Northern California World Service Area maintains a calendar of recovery and fellowship events taking place around Northern California and elsewhere, too. Many events take place online, so you can participate no matter where you are!
NCWSA Survey: Choosing a Group Name Policy and Procedure
The World Service Conference adopted slightly modified policy language re group names at their last convention. The WSO then chose to implement that policy by forbidding participant types (men, women, etc.) from all new group registrations, and requesting that all groups who have names that include a participant type change their name in accordance with the new procedure.
As might be expected, there was quite an outcry about this change, including discussion at the recent Northern California Area Assembly. Our Northern California Delegate, Chris M, in an effort to better understand the position of Northern California members on this issue, has initiated a survey (open until early January) that all members are invited to fill out.
You can find out more about this issue by reading the survey itself. If you know others in the program who may not have heard about this issue or the survey, please ask them to go to

NCWSA Delegate Monthly Discussions
Our Northern California Area Delegate to the World Service Conference, Chris M, holds open Zoom meetings once per month to discuss topics of general interest to the membership. These meetings are a great way to stay informed about what’s happening at the area (and world service) level. Dates and meeting details are in this flyer.
