The Fall Classic is an AA conference organized along the "Guidelines for Conferences and Conventions" of Alcoholics Anonymous, and reflects the guidance of the Twelve Traditions.  In accordance with the concept of non-affiliation, members of Al-Anon are invited to participate by planning their own part of the program.

 

To appropriately handle the business aspects of the conference, and to preserve its continuity, the Committee formed the Fall Classic Conference, Inc., a Missouri not for profit corporation in 1991.  The articles of incorporation and the by-laws formalized the traditions that had evolved.

 

The corporation is managed by a four-member board of directors elected by the Committee to serve two-year, staggered terms.  The Committee also elects a conference chairperson who serves as the president of the corporation for a one-year term.  The chairperson appoints the heads of the various conference committees.  No board member or officer receives a salary.  This structure allows for a regular change of leadership, and service opportunities for other members.

 

Although the board of directors runs the corporation, and the president and the committee heads are generally responsible for the details of the convention, it is understood that they are all are members of the Fall Classic Committee, and are but trusted servants.
