Good afternoon to all, Due to the pandemic, and situation we are under, CoDA is having their annual business conference virtually rather than meeting in person this year. The pandemic has resulted in a decline in 7th tradition donations.

The Events Committee is asking Voting Entities to search among your own CoDA members to assist in interpretative services.  We are unable to ...Continue Reading

Voting Entities and Intergroups already play an active role in translatIng CoDA literature, to carry the message of recovery to the still-suffering codependent in a language they are comfortable ...Continue Reading
