• The Special Events Committee Chair has the delegated authority to oversee all Area approved fundraising activities.


• The Special Events Commitee Chair should recruit members of the fellowship to chair fundraisers, and should make an effort to ensure that all Ad Hoc committee Chairs meet minimum sobriety requirements.


• Ad Hoc Committee Chairs are de facto members of the Special Events Committee and therefore directly responsible to the Standing Committee Chair, that is directly responsible to the Area Service Board, that is directly responsible to the Area GSRs, that are directly responsible to the CA Groups they serve.


• The Special Events Committee Chair will maintain a list of currently active Ad Hoc Committees including contact telephone numbers, and any other relevant Ad Hoc Committee information as requested by the Area Service Board.


• The Special Events Committee Chair will advise all potential users of the CA logo that the CA logo may only be used by permission as outlined in the CA World Service Manual. In accordance with the group conscience of CA as a whole worldwide, it is illegal to use the name "Cocaine Anonymous", the block letters "CA" and the "CA" logo without the prior written consent of the Area Chairperson. The logo belongs to the CA fellowship as a whole, and as a whole has decided, through our CA World Service Conference Delegates, that prior permission must be granted for use of the CA logo. There is also the matter of insurance liability. An event that has not been approved by the SFVCA Area Service Board of Directors as a matter of corporate record, may cause the event organizers to personally assume all liability in case of accidents, etc. Only authorized use of the CA logo extends insurance coverage to an event. Annual events are not automatically insured unless the SFVCA Area Service Board of Director has approved the current event.
