Attention: Please discuss this information with your group as soon as possible. Plan a business meeting to reach a group conscience on the proposed name change.Dear ACA Group,The Delegates at a World Services Business Conference have approved a Fellowship Group Vote on a proposal to formally change our Program’s name. This is an important opportunity for your group to make its voice heard and to contribute to the Fellowship’s group conscience. Proposed Name Change From: Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACA) To: Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families (ACAD)The results of the Fellowship Group Vote will determine whether or not we will officially adopt the longer name, Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families (ACAD).This voting process will provide greater opportunities for groups to share opinions, which will help us reach the most inclusive group conscience possible. Voting Period Start: October 1, 2025 Ends: January 31, 2026 Length: Four months Every group (meeting, intergroup, and region) registered with WSO on the adultchildren.org website will have one vote, no matter how often they are scheduled to meet.All registered groups have a unique WSO group number, for example, CAxxx, WEBxxx, UKxxx, IGxxx, RegionX, etc. Each group will be assigned a unique voting link that allows them to vote only for their WSO registered group.All registered WSO contacts for each group (maximum 3) will receive an email with their group’s unique voting link. |
We have arranged for Town Halls/Forums to answer your questions about the Fellowship Group Voting process and how to conduct an effective group conscience.
