The MA Service Manual is an invaluable reference resource for members in service, meetings, Regions, and Districts. The purpose of this manual is to explain the organization and function of the Service Structure of MA. The procedures, guidelines, and service structures have been created to best unify MA and pursue the goal of helping the marijuana addict.
The Service Manual also provides some context to the history of MA, including historical documents, such as the Conference Charter and Bylaws, and further explains the relationship between the fellowship of MA and the nonprofit section 501(c)(3) corporation of MA World Services. We hope that this manual will help all who are interested in service to MA to understand the value of service and the way in which it is rendered. The Service Manual is updated annually to reflect the latest decisions made at the MA World Service Conference.
