Benefits of Registering Groups with the WSO
- The WSO provides meeting information (to newcomers, professionals, and others) about registered groups, to carry out
Al‑Anon’s one purpose: to help families and friends of alcoholics. The day, time, and physical location or electronic platform of registered groups are posted on the WSO website. - Registered groups are connected to the worldwide fellowship through communications sent via email and postal mail from
the WSO. - The group conscience of registered groups is heard through the World Service Conference, a link to worldwide Al‑Anon and Alateen that ensures unity of purpose and a common bond of love and friendship available to each member, no matter
where they may travel. - Registration is required before groups are granted permission to share or display any copyrighted materials during
their meetings.
