Living Sober is structured into three organizational elements:

• General Planning Committee
  
• Advisory Board
  
• Steering Committee

These three groups operate as a system of checks and balances so that no one element will attain an ascendancy over the others. The spiritual principles of the Twelve Traditions, the Twelve Concepts and the Six General Warranties of Alcoholics Anonymous are the over-riding guidelines for Living Sober and assure that our leaders are trusted servants; they do not govern.

General Planning Committee consists of all Living Sober volunteers, Subcommittee Co-Chairs and Subcommittee members, is our basic decision-making body, and will act as the group conscience of Living Sober. The General Planning Committee will meet at least monthly during the planning year, and as needed. Guidance for actions of the Steering Committee and the Advisory Board may be initiated by the General Planning Committee. For more complete descriptions of committee duties, click here.

Advisory Board acts as the Board of Directors for all legal purposes. It is responsible for all legal and fiduciary matters, has final approval over the yearly budget of the Living Sober Conference and has specific authority to protect the Purpose and Intent of Western Roundup / Living Sober of San Francisco, Inc as spelled out in this document.

Steering Committee has responsibility to oversee daily operations during the planning year, conducts General Planning Committee meetings, assembles the yearly budget for the Conference, and acts as liaison to all subcommittees.
