"Everything that occurs in the course of NA service must be motivated by the desire to more successfully carry the message of recovery to the addict who still suffers.

MIAMI VALLEY AREA SERVICE COMMITTEE OF NARCOTICS ANONYMOUS
meets every 3rd Sunday of the month
at 2:00 pm
Piqua Grace Church, Piqua, Ohio
9411 N County Rd 25A, Piqua, OH 45356
(this is a Business meeting only - not a regular NA meeting)
The NA groups delegate to the service structure the authority necessary to fulfill the responsibilities assigned to it.
All members of a service body bear substantial responsibility for that body’s decisions and should be allowed to fully participate in its decision-making processes.
NA funds are to be used to further our primary purpose, and must be managed responsibly.
In keeping with the spiritual nature of Narcotics Anonymous, our structure should always be one of service, never of government.
ALL Area Trusted Servants are voted in every July by the Groups. Nomination forms need to be submitted by May- June at the latest- so Groups can discuss them before voting.
Nominations for positions need to be submitted in person at the Area Meeting.
