SUMMARY:CAR Workshop 2014
DESCRIPTION:The Bay and Tampa Funcoast Areas will be hosting a Conference A
 genda Report Workshop.\n\nFree food and Drink.\n\n2014 CAR Information fr
 om the WSC\nWhat is “The CAR”?\nIt’s one of the ways Narcotics Anony
 mous World Services informs the fellowship of Narcotics Anonymous worldwi
 de what is happening\, what needs to be discussed \, what needs to be vote
 d on and the future direction of the NA fellowship worldwide as a whole.\
 nCAR stands for the CONFERENCE AGENDA REPORT\nIt is a compilation of motio
 ns that have been brought before Narcotics Anonymous at the world level. 
 Just as we have motions and business meetings at group levels\, area level
 s and regional levels we also have them at the world level. They are vote
 d on at the World Service Conference (WSC) once every two years by delega
 tes from each region in the world. The CAR is made in preparation for the
  WSC (World Service Conference).\n\nMotions can be made by Regions or the
  World Board. Motions made by regions often involve issues important to t
 he region\, while World Board motions concern the world-wide fellowship as
  a whole. These motions affect NA as a whole and impact NA members all ar
 ound the world. The delegates from the regions are directed to vote based
  upon the consensus of the region itself.\nHow the Voting Works\nEach Grou
 p Service Representative (GSR) has an opportunity to learn about the moti
 ons by attending a CAR workshop. The GSR then goes to their group and has 
 a meeting\n(suggested as a separate one from business or regular meeting) 
 to explain the motions to their group and have voting. The GSR then goes 
 to the Area Service Committee (ASC) meeting and gives the Regional Commit
 tee Member (RCM) their tally of the votes. The RCM then compiles them and
  brings it to the Regional Service Committee (RSC) and the RSC compiles t
 hose tallies from all areas. Every one has an opportunity to learn about 
 the CAR and vote on it at their group.\nWhy is it Important That a Group R
 epresentative Attend A CAR Workshop?\nIt’s important that each group hav
 e at least one person who has a thorough understanding of the CAR before 
 voting so that no biases are created and so that questions can be answered
  thoroughly and accurately. The representative does not have to be the GS
 R if they do not have one OR the GSR cannot attend.\n\nThe workshop will 
 provide information about the CAR report and the WCS 2010. The WSC 2010 th
 eme is "Our Visions\, Our Future". This means your input is very importan
 t to the present and future of NA worldwide.\n\n“There’s a sense of p
 ride when we can see the results of discussions and decisions after readin
 g the CAR. When we see a particular piece of literature on the rack at ou
 r meetings and we can say to ourselves\, "I voted on that piece\,” we f
 eel connected to NA in a way that we may not have felt before. It’s our
  chance to be part of that "collective expression" our Mission Statement t
 alks about."\n—From pg. 2 of World Board Report
