EA 2023
ANNUAL REPORTFROM THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ PRESIDENT, PAUL N.
One thing I hear frequently among members is that the EA program is one of the best kept secrets they know. Theidea of a program based on the Twelve Steps that can be utilized by a broad portion of people is exciting to mostpeople when they learn of it. EA isn’t for everyone; few things are. But the ideas, concepts, traditions hold agenuine promise of emotional health for many. It’s sad to think of the difference between how many people couldbenefit from this program versus how many people are working the program today. How can we change this? The
first way to increase the awareness and impact of EA is through personal service to the program. You can do thisby offering your services at your meeting, distributing flyers in your area, getting the word out on social media,and/or starting a new meeting. Another way to support EA is by financially supporting the organization so that it
can continue the hard work of providing the maintenance and growth of the fellowship here in the U.S. andglobally. Finally, answering the call when EAI asks members to step up and offer writing support or to join acommittee or the board is extremely valuable! You have a lot to offer your fellow members and the people whocurrently serve will help to make sure your offerings are properly utilized.
By this time next year, we hope to have two new workbooks completed. Everyone has their favorite publication,
whether it’s the Today book, the Big Book or one of EAIs workbooks, so the prospect of new workbooks to guideour emotional growth is exciting. I also anecdotally hear more members talking about going back to in-person
meetings or starting new ones, which means more ways for members to connect. Having board members who are
early in their terms comes with the promise of new ideas and a fresh perspective on how to best serve thefellowship. I appreciate the opportunity to be able to continue to serve the fellowship and look forward to theexciting year ahead.

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ELAINE DELAVY
2022-2023 held many changes for EAI. The biggest was an office move in December 2022. Thankfully, we didn’t
have a lot of snow on moving day here in Minnesota! We moved due to increased rents and decreased building
maintenance and are very pleased with our new office space just outside of downtown St. Paul. The other big change
was a farewell to our database coordinator, Claire, as she returned to pursue a degree in medical coding and wewelcomed Molly to join our team during the summer of 2023.
We moved away from a monthly newsletter to more brief but more frequent (weekly) emails. We hope themembership finds them easy to read and helpful. The program continues to gain new members and we continue toprovide the best service possible, in the way of new materials, responding to inquiries as quickly as we can, andacting on member ideas when we can.

MissionTo support individuals with emotional difficulties in their efforts to live moremanageable lives by using the Emotions Anonymous Program of recovery.

COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEEREPORT
The Literature Committee produced new or updated versions of several pamphlets during the fiscal year,
including Tools for Recovery (from German), Communications, Are We Defective, and Patience. Thecommittee developed the structure for a new booklet currently in development that will be called How toParticipate in Healthy, Effective EA Group Meetings. This booklet will be a compilation of all existing meeting
guidance we hope to offer to the membership in 2024. The committee also developed the outline, structure,assignments and call for submissions for a new book on the Twelve Principles. The committee chair took athree-month leave in late 2022 during which time the committee was in recess.

2021$168,988$145,593$148,266($2,673)

I want to begin the review of EAI’s financial situation by first thanking individuals and groups for steppingup their support of the organization this past fiscal year. Group and individual donations increased 63% and13%, respectively, over the previous fiscal year! I also want to thank the organizations’ employees who
sacrificed to put a lid on expenses while still maintaining commitment to serving the fellows of EA incountries around the world. This sacrifice is all the more significant in the face of the significant increase ininflation that we have all experienced. Also, during the fiscal year, EAI moved from its long-time office toa more economical, albeit nice looking, new office. The move took the significant organizational andphysical effort of employees and volunteers.
Total revenue including literature sales increased nearly 12% while total expenses declined nearly 8%. As aresult of members stepping up their donations and expense management, the operational deficit of theorganization shrank from $33,500 in 2022 to $7,000 in 2023. During the year, EAI’s total assets (mostly
comprised of cash and investments) declined from $75,744 in the prior year to $67,991.
As you can see, we are getting closer to meeting our goal of operating slightly in the positive, but are notquite there yet. In an effort to increase interest in our literature, the literature committee is currently
working on a new workbook! Any members interested in volunteering to write for it, please contact themain office. We also hope that members maintain their financial support of the program as much as
possible so that the program is viable for many years and many tens of thousands more members in thefuture. Thank you again for your support!
