BID COMITTEES

Each bidding committee must have at least three AA members who have been continuously sober for a minimum of one year.

 A letter of assurance from a local AA service body (district, intergroup, etc.) that no large-scale AA activity will be held in the proposed general service area within a period of 30 days before, and 30 days after the proposed conference dates, is required.

Bidders must have commitments from at least two appropriate facilities (Hotels, Universities, Convention Centers, Gymnasiums, etc.) so sized as to accommodate the entire conference. Please include proposed dates for the conference and a showing of available meeting space. The cost of the facility must be included. Bidders must provide information regarding housing for attendees, including cost and accessibility to the proposed conference site. If awarded the conference, the host committee agrees to have a signed contract within 45 days.

Please demonstrate how the bid committee has been involved with General
Service (some have chosen to get a letter of support or to show how their group was active in area or
district service).

Bidders must provide a permanent mailing address for their committee, and if
available provide an email address also

Bid committees should be able to demonstrate financial

autonomy and
responsibility, within the spirit of the 12 Traditions of AA
