Description of the World Service Conference (WSC):
The World Service Conference (WSC) is the annual business meeting of Underearners Anonymous®, a Fellowship that follows the 12 Steps and 12 Traditions. It is where Group Service Representatives (GSRs) from UA Meeting Groups and Intergroups and the General Service Board (GSB) Trustees gather to discuss and vote on important issues affecting UA as a whole.
Who May Attend In Person and Vote at the World Service Conference:
• All UA members and significant others are welcome to register to attend in person the whole World Service Conference (WSC) or any portion of it.
• Only Group Service Representatives (GSRs) and their alternates, General Service Board (GSB) Trustees and Committee Chairs, and the person(s) taking the WSC minutes will be able to share at the work sessions of the full voting body (Convocation).
• Only GSRs, GSR alternates, and the General Service Board Trustees are authorized to vote at the convocation portion of the WSC.
• UA members-at-large, GSRs and their alternates, GSB Trustees and GSB Committee Chairs may attend committee work sessions if they register to attend part or the whole Conference. Sharing and voting in these committees are determined by the group conscience of those committees.
The Role of the GSR:
The GSRs are an integral part of how our fellowship moves forward, and the best way of contributing to that future direction is by participating in the WSC Convocation and committee sessions and serving on committees from Conference to Conference. The GSR’s responsibility, to the best of their ability, is to attend all of the UA WSC sessions as per the expected responsibilities of a UA GSR representing their group(s).
