We want to hear from you! Fill-out the NorCal Feedback Form for the 2025 General Service Conference by October 18, 2025.

LEARN MORE: https://www.norcalcma.org/gscfeedback

The General Service Conference is a yearly event where CMA members come together to represent the active voice and conscience of our Fellowship, serving two main purposes: conducting CMA’s business and offering spiritual guidance to the Board of Trustees, with a focus on safeguarding our foundational principles, literature approval, and setting Fellowship policies, all without a formal legal structure.

Ahead of the conference, delegates have been asked to survey their areas and bring feedback to the larger structure of CMA. There is no “leader” or ruling class of CMA. The members of CMA are in charge, so the feedback, voices and opinions collected here play a huge role in the formation of CMA going forward. We appreciate your time in adding your voice.

We would like the feedback from all groups/individuals completed by October 18, 2025.

If you have questions about the Feedback Form please email:

* Tyrone C: dcm@norcalcma.org
* Anthony R: califdelegate@norcalcma.org

Come join us on August 31 in San Jose for brunch and afterwards for the Silicon Valley Pride Parade. Suggested donation is $20 but noone will be turned away for lack of funds.

Please RSVP by calling (669) 294-1367 so that they know how much food to make.

Also, we’re going to try som**hing new! If you are coming from other parts of the fellowship (Sacremento, SF, East Bay, etc.) and don’t have transportation, or you want to have others join you to the fund-raiser, you can go to https://meetingcrasher.org/events/2 and sign up either to be a driver, to join one of the drivers that have already signed up, or to join a waitlist. It will be clear how many people each driver can take, when and where they plan to depart, and when they plan to return. This way, you can sign up for the vehicle that is convenient for you to get to and that aligns with your schedule for that day.

If you have any questions about this, please contact socialeventschair@norcalcma.org
