Statement of Purpose

Our earliest NA service material told us that "everything that occurs in the course of NA service must be motivated by the desire to more successfully carry the message of recovery to the addict who still suffers”. It is for this reason that we begin this work. In the years since we have continued this work with that same motivation first and foremost.

There have been many changes that have created a “disconnect” between our members and all levels of NA service.

As the World Service model developed to reach out across the oceans and touch the lives of addicts suffering abroad, less energy was felt being utilized for the needs of members in the United States, where this life giving fellowship began. Reformation movements rightly follow great expansion and keep alive the vital elements that made our Fellowship attractive and effective.

We propose to offer the Fellowship the opportunity to establish a United States Service Conference that can meet the needs of the US Fellowship, based on the spiritual principles of the 12 Traditions, primarily group conscience.
