Conferences and Conventions (CoCo) Committee
The Conference is the annual World Service business meeting, often held remotely – MAWSConference.org
The MA World Service Conference is the forum at which group conscience throughout MA is expressed, and decisions are made that affect MA as a whole. The Conference is also where much of MA World Services work is performed. Trustees and Committee Chairs are selected at the MA World Service Conference. The event also provides the opportunity to meet MA members from other Districts/Regions and share experience, strength and hope. This sharing provides the unity that binds all members to our common purpose. (Continue reading in Chapter 19 — The MA World Service Conference, Service Manual)
