Hello and thank you very much to our CoDA trusted servants who signed up for this email list!

 

Our hope is that Group Reps will share these messages with their home meetings, and that intergroup members will share them with each other as well as their meetings.

This message also went out today in slightly different form to our "General Announcemenrts" Email list; you may have seen it.

 

Because such a small % of our members are subscribed to the lists, & because we feel this is very important information, we're requesting & hoping that you'll take this back to your home meetings & intergroups. Thanks for all you do!

 

 

This email is from the Secretary of the CoDA Board of Trustees, secretary@coda.org, and the CoDA Email List Coordinator, codalist@coda.org

 

 

Summary: 2017 CoDA Service Conference

 

 

 

 

Greetings, CoDA Fellowship!

 

Here is a summary of the motions that were passed by the delegates at the 2017 CoDA Service Conference. Only a portion of the motions that were passed is summarized here.

 

A brief summary of the 2017 CSC highlights

 

Literature that has been previously approved by a Voting Entity (USA State, Canadian province, other country) or CSC committee can be presented to CSC via a motion for endorsement. If endorsed, it would then be considered official CoDA literature. For reference, this is motion 17001. New guidelines and deadlines were implemented in regards to how to carry out the preceding motion. This is motion 17002.

 

A literature item, Twelve-Piece Relationship Toolkit from CoDA Canada, was approved as conference endorsed literature. It will be made available to the CoDA fellowship. This is motion 17003.

 

By group conscience, a CoDA group may designate the focus of their meeting in any way they wish on the World Meeting Locator, so long as the four foundational documents are read at every meeting: the Preamble, the Welcome, the CoDA Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. This is motion 17011

 

Any Voting Entity may submit content to the CoDA Communications Committee (comm@coda.org) for a possible Email Announcement on the CoDA General Announcements List. All potential announcements will be vetted by the Communications Committee to make sure that the submission is in line with CoDA principles. This is motion 17012.

 

Outreach submitted two new pamphlets for Conference approval, “Information for Professionals” and “Your First Meeting”. Both were approved.

 

All motions will be emailed to submitcsc@coda.org no later than 75 days before the start of conference with revisions allowed for up to 60 days before the start of conference. All reports, goals and budgets must be emailed 30 days before the start of the conference. Send reports and goals to submitcsc@coda.org. Send budgets to budget@coda.org no later than 30 days before the start of conference. The bylaw motions, motions, and Voting Entity Issues will be posted on the coda.org website, and email notification of their availability, will occur no later than 75 days prior to the start of the CSC. It is the responsibility of the delegate(s) to track and obtain all changes which are posted on the delegate webpage. Hard copies of the delegate package will not be available at the CSC. This is motion 17021. See below for the deadlines for 2018.

 

The annual CoDA Service Conference and International CoDA Convention flyer will henceforth be offered in both English and Spanish. This is motion 17022.

 

The Colorado (USA) CoDA Prayer was renamed the "CoDA Recovery Prayer" and became Conference approved.

CoDA RECOVERY PRAYER

God help me to:
Accept other people as they are,
Recognize my own feelings,
Meet my own needs, and
Love myself just as I am.

This is motion 17027.
