The Regional Forums Coordinator works closely with the Regional Trustee and Host Contact tailoring each agenda to local needs. There is no registration fee for a Regional or Special Forum. The General Service Board covers the expenses of meeting rooms, transportation and hotel rooms for its board and staff personnel. In many places, area committees, districts and groups cover or defray the transportation and lodging expenses of the trusted servants representing them at a forum. Forums are intended to be sharing sessions, thus no formal actions result.
Forums provide unique opportunities to share valuable experience, ask questions and spark new ideas.
Regional and Special Forums carry the A.A. message through service.
