THE TWELVE CONCEPTS & THE WARRANTIES
THE TWELVE CONCEPTS
1 The Ultimate Responsibility and Authority for Al-Anon World Services Belongs to the Al-Anon Groups. 2 The Al-Anon Family Groups have delegated complete administrative and operational authority to their Conference and its service arms. 3 The Right of Decision makes effective leadership possible. 4 Participation is the key to harmony. 5 The Rights of Appeal and Petition protect minorities and assure that they be heard. 6 The Conference acknowledges the primary administrative responsibility of the Trustees. 7 The Trustees have legal rights while the rights of the Conference are traditional. 8 The Board of Trustees delegates full authority for routine management of the Al-Anon Headquarters to its Executive Committees. 9 Good personal leadership at all service levels is a necessity. In the field of world service, the Board of Trustees assumes the primary leadership. 10 Service responsibility is balanced by carefully defined service authority and double-headed management is avoided. 11 The World Service Office is composed of standing committees, executives and staff members. 12 The spiritual foundation for Al-Anon's world services is contained in the General Warranties of the Conference, Article 12 of the Charter. THE WARRANTIES In all its proceedings the World Service Conference of Al-Anon shall observe the spirit of the Traditions: 1 that only sufficient operating funds, including an ample reserve, be its prudent financial principle; 2 that no Conference member shall be placed in unqualified authority over other members; 3 that all decisions be reached by discussion, vote, and whenever possible, by unanimity; 4 that no Conference action ever be personally punitive or an incitement to public controversy; 5 that though the Conference serves Al-Anon, it shall never perform any act of government, and that, like the fellowship of Al-Anon Family Groups which it serves, it shall always remain democratic in thought and a ction. The Concepts and Warranties are reprinted with permission of Al-Anon Family Group Headquarters, Inc.
