Dear Fellow ACA Members,
As 2025 comes to a close, we want to thank you for your enthusiasm and support throughout the year. Your involvement continues to strengthen our global fellowship, and we are deeply grateful.
We We welcomed one new trustee in 2025, bringing our current board to eight members. To keep ACA WSO healthy and thriving, we aim to welcome at least two new trustees each year as others rotate out of service, ensuring the board remains strong and sustainable.

Why We Need You
ACA is growing worldwide, and so are the opportunities to serve. As a trustee, you’ll help:
• Share life-changing recovery literature in 30+ languages
• Support nearly 3,000 groups in 68 countries
• Strengthen ACA’s financial foundation
• Expand outreach in institutions and through social media
• Improve policies and processes that keep WSO running smoothly
We’re seeking members with ACA recovery experience, service or leadership background, and skills in areas such as business, organizational leadership, or project management.

Why Serve?,
Trustee service is not only a way to give back—it’s an opportunity for personal growth. Many trustees share that their recovery deepens through service. We also value balance and self-care. As one trustee put it, “This work is rewarding—and fun! We even make time for trivia and karaoke.”

We’d love to connect with you at one of these events:
Board Meeting with Fellowship: Saturday, December 13, 2025,
followed by a Q&A session with current trustees.
