Statement of Purpose
Asia–Oceania Service Meeting in Singapore
Dates: Wednesday 15th – Saturday 18th October 2025
The primary purpose of the Asia–Oceania Service Meeting (AOSM) is to carry the message of Alcoholics Anonymous to the alcoholic who still suffers. AOSM provides a forum for delegates across Asia and Oceania to share their experience, strength, and hope, representing the group conscience of the region and serving as a link to the World Service Meeting (WSM) for countries unable to attend.
Experience has shown that sound service structures enable more effective message delivery. The AOSM therefore encourages the development of such structures and the expansion of AA service through spoken word, literature, and institutional work. The AOSM recognises it has no authority over any AA group or service body; its decisions affect only its own meetings. AOSM gatherings are held bi-annually.
Theme Reflection
“One Message – Many Languages – One Fellowship”
This year’s theme reminds us that while our words and cultures may differ, the message of recovery remains one and the same. It calls on us to maintain the clarity and integrity of AA’s principles while ensuring accessibility to all, regardless of language or location.
Next Meeting:
Mongolia, 12th – 15th August 2027
Theme for 2027: “Serving from the Heart – Strengthening Our Unity and My Recovery.”
