REGIONAL REPORTS

Arizona Region Hello everyone from the Arizona Region of NA. Arizona is growing in all of our areas. Currently we have 12 areas that cover all of Arizon, and parts of California and Nevada.
We missed all of you at the last WSZF. We are happy to report that we have 3 new areas in Arizona. CAN area (California-Arizona-Nevada), Lake Havasu Area, and River Valley. We also have a new web
servant and our technology on the net and in our phoneline system has continuously improved. We just had
our regional convention (ARCNA XIX), which was more successful than any of the previous 18
conventions. We attended the WSO workshop in Burbank, CA this past April and once again was very
impressed with the leadership at the World level of our fellowship. For the past year, three areas have
explored the logistics with forming and setting up a Metro level service structure. East Valley Area, Phoenix
Area and West Valley Area were all involved.

California Inland
First, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Gene P., aka Corky, and I am the new RD for California Inland. When last we met I was the RDA.
California Inland is made up of 4 areas that hold over 200 meetings weekly. We meet the first weekend of July. We are currently doing a complete overhaul of our guidelines, part of which is changing the term
for RD & RDA from 1 year to 2 years to come in line with the conference. Elections for these positions only
are held in the off Conference year.
Our Region uses Resource Officers instead of sub-committees for all but our Convention and Activities. H&I is the only RO position that is filled at this time. The Activities Committee is not active. Our H&I RO
meets quarterly to break bread with the 4 area H&I chairs to promote unity and share problems and
solutions. Our Convention has come and gone. It was well attended and appeared to go smoothly. California
Inland turned 10 this year, so for the opening speaker meeting Friday night, our Regional Chair lead the
meeting and the body did the readings. It was a way to introduce ourselves and share a little bit about the
history of how our Region was born. We invited NAWS to come do interactive sessions on the 2 Issue
Discussion Topics. It went well and had approximately 5 round tables for each topic.
Something our Region is trying to initiate is holding an assembly to go over the CAR. Because of our large geographical coverage, we are looking at holding two assemblies, 2 areas per assembly.

California Mid-State
Greetings from California Mid-State Region,
Our regions seven areas serve the northern and central San Joaqu
