Conference to create an accessibility guideline.
Conference to create or adapt from the US version, an Australian guideline for accessibility, to help inform AA Australia of this important aspect of carrying the message.
WHAT IS THE BACKGROUND OR REASON FOR THE TOPIC?
Currently we only have US resources to work off, I believe it would be helpful to have our own guideline with Australian literature resources.
DO YOU HAVE A SUGGESTED SOLUTION?
The solution is outlined above.
HOW WILL THE ALCOHOLIC WHO STILL SUFFERS OR THE FELLOWSHIP OF ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS BENEFIT FROM THIS SUGGESTION?
Accessibility is a relatively newish aspect of AA service work. Almost every time the subject is raised, I hear someone say ‘what is accessibility?’ This guideline will help better inform the fellowship & members carrying out service work on what Accessibility is & how it can impact the message being carried.
Having an accessibility guideline sitting within our (Australian) guidelines makes the topic more accessible to Australian AA members.
WHAT ARE THE ESTIMATED COSTS OF IMPLEMENTING THIS SUGGESTION?
Minimal if any at all.
HAVE YOU ASKED YOUR GROUP, DISTRICT OR AREA TO MAKE A DECISION ABOUT THIS TOPIC AND, IF SO, WHAT WAS THE OUTCOME?
Topic raised at Area C assembly Sunday 19/5/24, motion to support the topic was supported unanimously.
