The Board Outreach Committee (BOC) focuses on matters relating to oral or written communications emanating from F.W.S. Specifically:
- Sets policies, coordinates with the BOT, and acts as a consultation resource to the F.W.S. Office on:
- Publication of Conference Approved literature;
- Public information issues, including the coordination of media opportunities and a speakers’ list
- Clarifying the Fellowship’s desired public image (i.e. S.L.A.A. works, you are not alone, etc.)
- Ensures that all interested parties understand the effectiveness of the S.L.A.A. program (e.g. members and their families, employers, community leaders, institutions, mental health professionals, clergy, etc.)
- Successfully communicating the S.L.A.A. program in accordance with Tradition 11
(i.e. attraction rather than promotion) - Communicating with entities outside of S.L.A.A.
- F.W.S newsletter is used as one of our tools to successfully communicate with the fellowship.
Meeting: 1 hour on select Fridays once or twice a month; time determined by the members
