The CAR is a compilation of motions that have been brought before Narcotics Anonymous at the world level. Just as we have motions and business meetings at group, area, and regional levels we also have them at the world level. They are voted on at the World Service Conference (WSC) once every two years by delegates from regions and zones around the world. The CAR is made in preparation for the World Service Conference (WSC).
Motions can be made by Regions or the World Board. Motions made by regions often involve issues important to the region, while World Board motions concern the worldwide fellowship as a whole. These motions affect NA as a whole and impact NA members all around the world.
The California Inland Region of Narcotics Anonymous (CIRNA) is comprised of five member Areas and provides services and support to NA meetings and addicts seeking recovery within its boundaries.
