Around AA

As the 1991 Conference opened on April 14, a change from the traditional New York City location provided a relaxed atmosphere, and the sponsorship theme focused Conference members' attention firmly on AA basics. Meeting at the Rye Town Hilton a short distance north of Manhattan, the 132 voting Conference members (91 area delegates, 21 trustees, and directors and staff of AA World Services and The AA Grapevine, Inc.) spent the week of April 14-20 engaged in AA's annual "business meeting." Through the Conference, the collective group conscience of AA in the U.S. and Canada is expressed.
