Abbreviated Virtual: Al-Anon World Service Conference**

**In light of government and health authorities’ directives regarding COVID-19, the Board of Trustees decided to conduct an abbreviated virtual Conference-pertaining only to critical Board matters-the week of April 20, 2020, prior to the Annual Board Meeting and conduct the majority of agenda items via AFG Connects or postpone them to the 2021 WSC.

Therefore, we ask all members who were planning to “Write to Your Delegate,” to consider other ways to show your support. Please do not send cards and love gifts to the hotel. We know your Delegates and Conference members sincerely appreciate all the hard work that has gone into creating love gifts and encourage you to share them at the Area level since Delegates will be working hard this Conference as always.

Thank you for your help in sharing this message with others who may be planning to mail cards or packages.

The World Service Conference (WSC) is an annual meeting of the elected Delegates from each of the Areas of the World Service Conference structure, the Board of Trustees, the Executive Committee, and World Service Office Conference staff.* Through the discussions and deliberations at the WSC, the active voice and effective group conscience of Al-Anon is heard on world service matters.

Delegate members attending the WSC are chosen at Area Assemblies by the groups through a series of elections. Having been elected in this democratic manner, they are entrusted by the group con-science, in accordance with Concept Three, to make decisions for the fellowship worldwide.
