Corrections Committee Report - January 2026

Greetings Area 41. My name is AUBRIE l am an alcoholic, The CorrectionsCommittee met at 9 am with 14 members in attendance. the meeting opened with a moment of silence followed by the Serenity Prayer. Introductions were made.

Members shared updates from their Districts and other activities of corrections services. We had two requests sent into us one from Tecumseh and one from the Wrap program in Douglas county. We discussed having a corrections workshop at Area assembly highlighting the stigma of taking AA into correctional facilities, sharing the impact it has on both parties, and the process of getting into the facility. I was able to attend the 8 th National Corrections Conference in Nashville! I invited past Corrections chair Pam R. To go along and share her experiences with me. She was able to introduced me to quite a few people who provided me with a wealth of knowledge that I was able to bring back and share with the committee. We had a great time hanging out with Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson! The back stage tour of the grand olé opry was breathtaking! On a suggestion from the Conference we will work on getting a warden’s contact information to help with the process of taking AA meetings into a facility. We closed the meeting at 11:05 with the responsibility statement. I am excited to be a part of Panel 76 and see all the wonderful things we can accomplish! Thank you.

Yours in service,
Aubrie R, Corrections Committee Chair
