Topic Submittal Guidelines:
The submitting of topics to Arizona Area 03 is of vital importance to the well being and
functioning of AA in the Area. It is important not only that we have the topics but also it is
equally important that the Area understands the intent of the author. A Topic is a motion
to the Area and if a Panel decides to bring the Topic to the Floor of the Assembly it
becomes a seconded Motion. Topics are submitted to the Agenda Committee
Chairperson and are assigned to a Panel by that Committee. Any member of Alcoholics
Anonymous may submit a topic which would be of interest to the Area.
Therefore the following suggestions are made in order that we can make an informed
Group Conscience.

Example:
Date: The date the Topic is submitted to the Agenda Committee.
Motion: The intent of the Topic, e.g.. “I move that the Arizona Area 03 provide ice cream
at each Assembly”
Discussion: Your reasons: ”ice cream has in the past proven to be an incentive for
GSRs to attend Assemblies.”
Background: Reference material, Past Actions, AA literature. “The Assembly in Wiley,
AZ March 1999 was a huge success due to the serving of ice cream to all that attended.”

Please include:
Name: Your full name
Address: Your mailing address
Telephone: Your telephone number
Your identity will be kept confidential, only the Agenda Committee Chairperson will have it.

A Panel may ask to hear from the author if it has questions about the Topic.
