Updates from Trustee Liaison
Dear Region 9 Fellows, Here is some news from the World Service Office.
The Results of the Recent Survey Recovery: What Works for You?
Survey conducted within our OA Fellowship have been released! Our Recovery Survey discusses how 3,428 real OA members reported using the Tools and tenets of the Twelve Steps of Overeaters Anonymous to pursue collective recovery. The survey can be printed out and folded in thirds to be conveniently distributed at your meetings. For non-English- speaking registered groups and service bodies, please see this memo for translation suggestions. You may translate and distribute the survey results without requesting permission from OA. Thank you to the many participants who took the time to take part on our survey and share their experiences and successes with us. Together we get better!
