World Service Office (WSO): The WSO serves OA as a whole, from its largest service group to the isolated individual seeking relief from compulsive overeating. The WSO Staff offers a multitude of services to OA members. Board of Trustees: The volunteer Board of Trustees consists of 16 OA members; 10 are regional trustees and six are general service trustees. The general service trustees comprise the Executive Committee of the board. They guide the management of the World Service Office and report to the Board of Trustees. The regional trustees assist as needed in the organization and operation of service structures within their respective regions and act as liaisons between the Board of Trustees and the regionwide membership. Trustees are elected by delegates at the World Service Business Conference to serve three-year terms, for a maximum of eight years. World Service Business Conference (WSBC): WSBC serves as the collective conscience of the Fellowship of Overeaters Anonymous. Held annually in April or May, this weeklong meeting is attended by delegates representing OA intergroups and national/language service boards around the world. It is held to elect trustees, amend bylaws, adopt new business policies and provide information to delegates through presentations and workshops on issues that affect OA as a whole. Each OA member, group and service body has a stake in Overeaters Anonymous. Conference is the one opportunity we have as "shareholders" to come together and question, chart and steer the course of Overeaters Anonymous. It is also our obligation to report back to our service bodies and groups on the current state of OA and its direction for the future. World Service Convention: World Service Convention is held every few years to promote recovery, fun and fellowship in Overeaters Anonymous. You can attend workshops, marathons and other OA-related events, and hear speakers from other countries. Come share your experience, strength and hope with hundreds of OA members from around the world. WSO Newsletters: World Service Office newsletters support our service bodies in carrying out OA's primary purpose. A Step Ahead provides World Service office news to groups and service bodies, and the Courier informs the professional community of the recovery that OA offers. We are only anonymous at the level of press, radio, films, television, and other public media. We want the world to know we are here.
