SCANCYPAA Advisory Board Guidelines
- We are assembled by members of former host committees, with new members being elected every year and practicing the principle of rotation.
- We hold digital advisory meetings on a regular basis throughout the year.
- We work independently from any existing host committee.
- We provide guidance to host committees, based on our own experience, throughout the year of hosting the convention.
- We keep track of transferring funds in between shifting committees.
- We provide oversight of SCANCYPAA, and address any matters regarding the convention as a whole.
- We support the host committees with meeting formats, readings and other material for the conference.
- We own and maintain a website and a facebook group with the purpose of sharing information about the convention and interaction among convention participants.
- We protect the SCANCYPAA assets using non-profit best practices.
- We don’t get any money for our work, nor should we have any expenses related to our service commitment.
- We see ourselves as a fully integrated part of Alcoholics Anonymous, under the service structure of Continental Europe and try our best to practice the Traditions and Concepts for World Service.
- Ultimately, we are in service to the SCANCYPAA community. We are working toward making the convention a safe, welcoming and recovery focused community for all.
