Mission
The International Women’s Conference is the bridge to a better understanding of the Alcoholics Anonymous philosophy and way of life because of our special needs in sobriety as women. We as women members of Alcoholic Anonymous are survivors. We have found a way to obtain meaning, depth and responsibility in our lives. This came about out of desire, decision, determination and spiritual guidance. An elevated sense of belonging that is brought about by the special services and a special need provided by our Women’s Conference is our goal.

IWC Self-Supporting Statement
This conference is self-supporting through the money paid for by registration fees, banquet tickets, and donations. No 7th Tradition AA funds are used to pay for the event. Conferences and conventions are special events and require money, as well as months of planning and preparation. Expenses include contracted costs for the use of meeting rooms, preparation of food and beverages (especially coffee,) printing of registration forms, audio/visual service, flyers, program schedules, postage, supplies and many other costs. Our financial goal is to break even. Our contractual commitments to the hotel & convention center require a guaranteed number of hotel rooms and banquet sales. To achieve this, we must meet our banquet and room night commitments.
