PIPO/UWD COMMITTEE
PRINCIPLES INTO PRACTICE
11:00AM – 1:00PM EDT (UTC-4)
Join us for an interactive workshop to help members, meetings, and service bodies strengthen outreach and carry the message of OA recovery. Through your Seventh Tradition contributions and service, World Service and the Virtual Region have developed a wide range of outreach materials, including social media content, television and radio public service announcements, flyers, materials for professionals, and more.
Together, we’ll explore these resources, share experience, and learn best practices from one another. Whether supporting an open house or convention, your meeting, your service body, or OA as a whole, this workshop will help us more effectively carry the message to those who still suffer.
The primary purpose of an OA meeting is to carry the message to the compulsive overeater who still suffers. All are welcome!
