Greetings from Portland Oregon. Myself and our RDA, Giner are representing CIRNA at the Western States Zonal Forum (WSZF) which takes palce from today till about noon on sunday.
The zonal forum is an informal gthering of 13 regions from the western USA, and Alaska, we meet once a year to share our successes and challenges with the aim to inprove our efforts at delivering on our primary purpose.
Our Purpose
The Western States Zonal Forum is a service-oriented sharing session that provides the means by which NA communities in the Western United States can communicate, cooperate, and grow with one another. Although not a part of NA's formal decision-making system, WSZF interacts with world services in many ways. We provide a biannual report on the floor of the World Service Conference and, when requested by the conference, may also answer specific questions or address the body. In order to improve communications, we are provided with conference participant mailings and send each meeting record to world services. In order to more effectively serve the fellowship, world services and WSZF maintain an ongoing partnership in order to plan and conduct the worldwide workshop system in those years when it is held in our zone, and may assist each other in the coordination of a variety of service efforts such as professional events and fellowship development activities.

In attendance are 13 RD's (Regional Delegates) and 9 RDA's (Alternate Delegates), a facilitator and one World Board Member. The World Board member is here to present details on the proposed new service system. I am excited to interact, to keep the voice of CIRNA relevant and engaged.
Looking forward to learning more so as to be able to better articulate the huge proposed changes to the service system and other CAR material.
Thanks for allowing me to blessed by service to you,

Warm regards,
"EL"Sinore Oscar RD CIRNA
