We, the members of the WACYPAA Advisory Council, are a rotating body of past WACYPAA Host Committee members whose purpose is to serve as guardians of the conference. We take a proactive roll in assisting the current Host Committee throughout the duration of the conference, and actively assist with the financial welfare of the conference. We place ourselves at the disposal of the current Host Committee and all Bid Committees who wish to bring the WACYPAA to their area. We aim to be a strong resource to both Bid Committees and the Host Committee, so please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have about WACYPAA.
The most important job the Advisory Council has is to encourage participation in our conference among the members of Alcoholics Anonymous in the scope of the Conference. This means we are actively encouraging AA members to attend, as well as to inspire the formation of Bid Committees to bid for the conference.
