VOTE: AGENDA ITEM 2012-03-10-012 Agenda<\/p>\n
Area 41 shall invite the West Central Regional Trustee to participate in an Area 41 Meeting weekend once in each delegate panel rotation. It is suggested that the invitation be extended for the last Area 41 Meeting weekend of each rotation which include the full Area 41 Election Assembly. Details of the visit will be finalized by the Area 41 Agenda Committee and the Area 41 Delegate at least one year before the visit. Funding for the estimated expenses of the Trustee\u2019s visit shall be included in the Area 41 Chairperson\u2019s budget.<\/p>\n
Background information: Regular access to the trustee by trusted servants within Area 41 will improve communications throughout the service structure. Currently no formal communication lines exist between the trustee, who serves on the General Service Board and either AA World Services or AA Grapevine, and Area 41. Amount of and quality of information from the GSB to Area 41 depends on the style and inclination of both the seated delegate and trustee \u2013 sometimes information flow seems good and sometimes not so good. Even the impression of poor communication within Area 41 is not healthy for the fellowship. This proposal requires financial commitment, the amount to vary with the location of Area activities and residence of the trustee. Outlaws Group<\/p>\n

Area 41 increase the Conference delegate contribution from $1500 to $2000.<\/p>\n
Background information: An Advisory Action from the 62 General Service Conference\u2019s Finance Committee recommended that the annual delegate\u2019s contribution, be increased from $1200 to $1600 and passed with substantial unanimity. Estimated cost of sending Delegates to General Service Conference is $5800. Area 41\u2019s Agenda Items Action Listing page XI-5 September 2000 reports a motion was passed for the finance committee to determine delegate\u2019s contribution based on Area 41\u2019s current financial status. If finance committee deter-mines Area 41\u2019s current and projected financial status is adequate I request Area 41 consider the proposed change keeping with the spirit of self-support regarding 7th Tradition and considering inflation.
