Committee = Service

Circle-Diamond NA Symbol with Self God Society & Service which equals Freedom & Goodwill

The Northern Lights Area has many committees that helps keep our fellowship alive and strong. Service work is vital to our recovery, because we can only keep what we have by giving it away, and by giving back to the fellowship. If you'd like to be of service, please feel free to attend any of our committee meetings.

There are many committees that need your support!
