A.A. Conventions: Why do I have to Pay?

While there are no dues or fees for membership in A.A., there are many conferences around the world and the most common misconception of these gatherings are that they are AA meetings, and "there are no dues and fees for AA membership."  However, Founders' Day and Conferences are special events, not regular A.A. meetings.

This conference requires months of planning, preparation and money to present.  Since all of the events are held on the Akron University Campus, there is a charge to the Committee for the use of these facilities.  In addition, the University of Akron requires that we purchase all coffee from them.  Other expenses include travel and lodging for speakers, printing cost, postage and supplies.  The event is paid for through the cost of the registration.  No baskets are passed. As responsible A.A. members "WE PAY OUR OWN WAY."
