What a Concept! Concept VIII
 

Concept VIII: The trustees are the principal planners and administrators of overall policy and finance. They have custodial oversight of the separately incorporated and constantly active services, exercising this through their ability to elect all the directors of these entities.

This is one of the more administrative concepts. It means that the Trustees of the Generals Service Board have the repsponsibility of the managing, financial, legal operations so directors are hired for the Grapevine, AA World Services.

Bill also warned against "too much concentration of money adn authority" when the Board tries to run everything itself.


Ok, Concept IX tonight, that one is a very good one. :c011:

Custodial oversight- Are there areas in our personal recovery where we should resist the temptation to micro-manage, perhaps in the affairs of our District or home groups? Or fellow AA members?Set up a meeting slightly different than normal and you will quickly find out who is in need of this quality.
