Ohio State Convention
Statement of Purpose
The
Ohio State
Convention of
Alcoholics Anonymous is an open, annual service convention hosted on a
rotating schedule by one of four Ohio General Service Areas:
Area 53 - Central and Southeast Ohio, Area 54 - Northeast Ohio, Area 55 - Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan, Area 56 - Southwest Ohio (You can visit the
other Area's Website by selecting the links above)
The
purpose of the convention is to carry the spirit of the General
Service Conference to the districts and groups in Ohio and Southeast
Michigan. This is accomplished by fostering cooperation among the four
Ohio Areas, highlighting and celebrating the General Service activities
of Alcoholics Anonymous in these areas, and through sharing experience
on AA's legacies of Unity, Service, and Recovery. The goal of the
convention is to support and strengthen the
General Service Conference structure in Ohio and Southern Michigan,
helping us to stay sober to help other alcoholics achieve sobriety. A
historic list of the themes of the
Ohio State Convention since 1957 is available here.
East
Central Region
 Area
54 is one of fourteen Delegate
Areas in the East Central Region that is comprised of Areas in Ohio,
Michigan, Indiana,
Illinois and Wisconsin. There are eight regions in the US & Canada.
Past Delegates from each of the fourteen Areas participate in preparing seated Delegates for the General Service Conference through the Delegates / Past Delegates Conference. All fourteen delegate Areas rotate hosting the East Central Regional Convention annually, except that it is not held in A.A. International Convention years. Since 1975, the General Service Office has hosted an East Central Regional Forum every two years. The forum is a series of sharing sessions that provide an opportunity to share valuable experience, ask questions and spark new ideas. Since many GSO staff members are present, local members have an opportunity to meet the staff face to face.
