FA Videoconference & Telephone Meetings

Connection Rep (or whoever would like to be designated to have your meeting’s official digital subscription) should purchase their digital FA meeting subscription by logging into their personal FA profile. (There is no formal way to order a “digital MEETING subscription” at this time, so reps need to subscribe personally.) Connection reps please make sure to be reimbursed by your meeting’s treasurer.

It’s important that the Connection Rep purchase a digital Connection subscription for your meeting, rather than using the Stories of Recovery/Connection page link. You will have the newest stories and also the amazing art! Buying a subscription supports the cost of producing the magazine.
