Alternate Delegate Report - October 2025

Greetings Area 41!!

It has been a privilege to serve as your Area 41 Alternate Delegate! Marsha and I made it to the West Central Forum in Omaha, what a great event! Thank you to Jenny and Aubrey for doing such a fantastic job of putting together such an awesome hospitality room! It was great to see and visit with our trusted servants from GSO! Scott H. our GSB Chair, and Bob W, our GSO General Manager, David S. AA Grapevine Director, and John W. our Grapevine Editor- in-Chief. And thank you to Nick for being such a great host Delegate! And last but not least, our own Charlie H. West Central Region Trustee! Our October Voting Assembly was fantastic! We had so many members who were willing to stand for Officer and Appointed Positions! It was really amazing! Thank you to all! And thank you to all who served in this last rotation!

And finally, I was very humbled to be elected Area 41 Panel 76 Delegate! I look forward to this new journey that my Higher Power has blessed me with! And to be working with all of you as we prepare for the West Central Regional Conference! February 27,28, and March 1, 2026. At the Double Tree Downtown Cedar Rapids, IA

Grateful to serve. Russ S. Area 41 Alternate Delegate
