• Understanding the 2026 NA Conference Agenda Report

  In this episode of the Living Clean Podcast, we sit down with our longtime friend Ron H. to break down the 2026 Conference Agenda Report (CAR) and help NA members truly understand how the World Service Conference process works. Ron brings deep experience from his time on the World Board, working with NA World Services, and reporting on conference business for years. We start by explaining what the CAR is and why it’s the vehicle NA uses to conduct fellowship business at the world level. Then we walk through how input from home groups flows up through areas and regions to the World Service Conference, so members know how their voices can make a difference. We go through each of the motions in the 2026 CAR, talk about issue discussion topics (IDTs), and explain the surveys — what they’re for, how the information is used, and how you can participate. We wrap up with practical guidance on how you can get involved at every level of service: home group, area, region, workshops, and more. Whether you’re new to NA or have been in the rooms for a long time, this episode will help you understand how the process works and how your voice matters.Full CAR link we’re discussing: https://na.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/2026-CAR-11-12-25.pdf
