"The World Service Conference" and "The Conference Agenda"

The World Service Conference is a vehicle for fellowship communication and unity, a forum where our common welfare is itself the business of the meeting. We now have the opportunity to hear the voices of more addicts in more places than ever before. We are truly a global fellowship.

The World Service Conference is the one time every two years when we all come together to make decisions about how we will move forward, as a fellowship, toward the fulfillment of our shared vision. A Guide to World Services in Narcotics Anonymous explains:

The World Service Conference brings all elements of NA world services together to further the common welfare of NA. The WSC's mission is to unify NA worldwide by providing an event at which:

Participants propose and gain fellowship consensus on initiatives that further the NA world services vision

  • The fellowship, through an exchange of experience, strength, and hope, collectively expresses itself on matters affecting Narcotics Anonymous as a whole.
  • NA groups have a mechanism to guide and direct the activities of NA world services;
  • Participants ensure that the various elements of NA world services are ultimately responsible to the groups they serve.
  • Participants are inspired with the joy of selfless service, and the knowledge that our efforts make a difference.

We thank you in advance for your willingness to read and study the proposals, attend Zonal, South Florida Regional and local workshops. And especially group workshops, where our members can find out the importance of being in a worldwide fellowship. We realize it might be quite lengthy, and some of the subjects could also be complex or controversial. Some may seem far removed from the concerns of your home group or NA community. We will try our best to simplify complex material where it was possible to do so.

Your willingness to participate does make a difference. The evidence is all around us. You are part of a process that, although imperfect and sometimes frustrating, has helped Narcotics Anonymous to grow from one meeting in 1953 in Southern California to over 27,149 meetings in 104 countries today.
