Message From Your Board

Chair Message

Dear Al-Anon Community,

Thank you to all groups who voted, and all ISRs who returned your group’s ballot. I am pleased to share that eight individuals were elected to open SD AIS Office Board positions! We are delighted to welcome new Board members Danielle A, Devon M, Jayne T, Kathy L, Lety C, Lucia M, Patti H, and Tessa R. We look forward to working with them to confirm exact positions and to support them as they transition into their Board roles.

As many of you know, we are working on a bylaw revision. The Board and ISRs agreed that it is important to allow sufficient time for questions and discussion regarding the proposed draft bylaws. The ISRs voted to hold a special ISR meeting on Dec 13, 2025, at 10:30 AM to discuss the proposed "Restated Bylaws DRAFT revs 10.07.2025 FINAL." We realize that an additional meeting may be inconvenient and hope that all ISRs can attend. A quorum of two-thirds is required to approve the proposed draft of the Bylaws. Please make every effort to attend - or send your Group's registered Alternate ISR in your place.

Thank you again for your participation in making our 2026 Service Board election so successful and for the service of each group’s ISR.

Yours with gratitude and in service,

Sherry M, Board Chair

Thank You, Al-Anon Friends,

We will have two important issues to be voted on at the November 8th Intergroup Service Representative (ISR) meeting for the future of San Diego Al-Anon. The first item is to elect the 2026 Service Board, and the other is to approve our draft amended governing Bylaws.

I am pleased to share that we have received nine nominations for six open board positions! The ballots for the nominations have been forwarded to the ISRs for a vote at the November meeting. Special thanks to all the nominees and to the members of the Bylaw Task Force.
