What is the Communications Committee?
The committee is responsible for the technical and digital aspect of the Area’s service activities. The committee does not directly impact twelfth step work; it serves and supports the purposes of Area 16 as they relate to carrying a clear message of hope and recovery from alcoholism. As a suggestion for improvement is accepted by one of the various responsible bodies, if requested, the committee will assist in its development and implementation. The committee does not dictate what is communicated; it offers its expertise to help carry the message within the Traditions.
Ideally, the committee includes the Chair and CoChair, 5-7 members with technical backgrounds, and the Area Secretary, who acts as a liaison with the Area Office Committee.
