Your opinion matters! 

Every year, AA holds a worldwide conference to consider how we cooperate, do service, and carry the message. This year the Conference will consider possible changes to our literature.

Please complete the Delegate's survey by 4/16 at 5pm in order to give Jan feedback on this year's Conference Questions. It's just 26 questions long.
