The Model
The Oxford House State Association is the building block and foundation of the successful Network of Oxford Houses in the state of Virginia. The Oxford House Manual© is the blueprint for the standardized processes and procedures used by each and every Oxford House. Part of the mechanism for assuring that each and every Oxford House follows the standard processes and procedures is an overall organization of Oxford House that assures timely transfer of knowledge and assurance of quality control – from the establishment of a new Oxford House through the formation of a state or regional Association and the annual Oxford House World Convention. The basic organization of Oxford House is from the bottom/up. It is a grassroots organization. Tradition Five states that each individual Oxford House is autonomous. That means that once it gets its permanent charter the individual house can do whatever a majority of its members decide and it has one vote in the governance of the overall Oxford House organization. However, even with a permanent charter, the individual house has to follow the conditions of its charter and the other mutual support organizations of Oxford House such as chapters and regional/state Associations, have a responsibility to assure that it does. If the individual Oxford House violates its charter, it can lose it. The Board of Directors of Oxford House, Inc has granted sole authority for charter revocation for cause to Oxford House World Services and only Oxford House World Services. Of course, “for cause” never takes place if the individual house follows the rules and if mutual support organizations of Oxford House work with an individual house not in compliance with its charter so that it takes corrective action and gets back on track. The best way to assure that every house stays on track is for chapters to effectively inform, train and assure quality of individual houses within their geographic areas. The best way for Chapters to stay up-to-date is to be trained and encouraged by State or Regional Associations. State/Regional Association Organization The Regional Association is democratically organized just like an individual Oxford House or Chapter. The membership of the Regional Association is made up of Chapter Chairpersons within the state or region, any resident or alumni World Council representative members residing within the state or region, one alumni member recommended by chapters [limited to one for every three chapters] and officers elected by the association members for the duration of their term of office.
