At the Global Level: Traditions Book Project
WSC 2010 adopted a motion to create a project plan for a Twelve Traditions working guide. Our goal for
this cycle is to gather fellowship input, source material, and ideas regarding a Traditions book both online
and through face-to-face workshops. By the end of the cycle, we would like to frame viable options for the
book so that we can move forward with writing it. There are two main types of input we are seeking for this
project. The first type is considered “front-end” input - material that will help to shape the initial draft
material. The second type is input that members provide in response to initial drafts, which will help to
refine the material into an approval form. We ask that NA communities have input-gathering workshops
using the 20-minute group mini workshops & full 90-minute workshops.
Deadlines for front-end input will be as follows:
31 November 2014 - Traditions Two through Seven
31 March 2015 - Traditions Eight through Twelve
Traditions Book Project Discussion Boards http://disc.na.org/trads/
