Dissolution of Region 4
Overeaters Anonymous in the recent past has been divided into 11 regions, but this is the last World Service Business Conference that will include Region 4, which has represented part or all of 8 US states and 3 Canadian provinces. Generally, you could say Region 4 was north-central North America.
In July, the region found itself without either a chair or a vice chair, and concluded that that was a sign that the region was no longer viable. After considerable inquiry and discussion, it was decided that Region 4 would cease to exist on June 1.
All intergroups got to choose which region they would affiliate with, and a new map reflecting their choices will be available within the year, Board of Trustees chairwoman Meg M. said.
