"The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions are guides for personal growth and group unity. The Twelve Concepts are guides
for service. They show how Twelve Step work can be done on a broad scale and how members of a World Service Office can relate
to each other and to the groups, through a World Service Conference, to spread Al-Anon's message worldwide."

The Twelve Concepts:
1) The ultimate responsibility and authority for Al-Anon world services belongs to the Al-Anon groups.
2) The Al-Anon
Family Groups have delegated complete administrative and operational authority to their Conference and its service arms.
3) The Right of Decision makes effective leadership possible.
4) Participation is the key to harmony.
5)
The Rights of Appeal and Petition protect minorities and assure that they be heard.
6) The Conference acknowledges
the primary administrative responsibility of the trustees.
7) The trustees have legal rights while the rights of
the Conference are traditional.
8) The Board of Trustees delegates full authority for routine management of the Al-Anon
Headquarters to its executive committees.
9) Good personal leadership at all service levels is a necessity. In the
field of world service the Board of Trustees assumes the primary leadership.
10) Service responsibility is balanced
by carefully defined service authority and double-headed management is avoided.
11) The World Service Office is composed
of standing committees, executives and staff members.
12) The spiritual foundation for Al-Anon's world services is
contained in the General Warranties of Conference, Article 12 of the Charter.
