Region 5 Business Committees

Region 5 has 4 business committees:

1. The Bylaws Committee is responsible for keeping the Region 5 Policies and Procedures, Bylaws, and the Standing Rules pertinent and current. The Bylaws committee is also the emergency new business committee which determines if motions generated need to be considered at the current assembly.
2. The Finance Committee manages the investment and use of funds in the Region 5 bank accounts and prepares the budget for approval at the last assembly of the year.
3. The Convention Committee puts on the Region 5 Convention which is held once a year somewhere in the region. The members of this committee are usually limited to Region 5 Representatives from the intergroup hosting the Convention in the upcoming year, the Region 5 Vice-Chair and Region 5 Hotel Liaison.
4. The Media Committee creates and acquires Online Newsletter articles (Freedom from Bondage on the R5 website) and reviews and suggests content updates for the Region 5 website.
