AA Chairperson's Message

Welcome to the 50th Anniversary of the SFVAA Convention.

Can you believe it has been 50 years since our very first SFVAA convention? A true testament to all who willingly took on commitments, who did the hard work and showed unwavering dedication so that we could continue to bring this amazing event to the AA community here in the San Fernando Valley for 50 consecutive years. I want to thank all the planning committee members for their support in putting on this incredible event. Your willingness to collaborate and work together is impressive and I am so proud of all that you do.

I am humbled and grateful to serve as the 2026 Convention Chair and thank all of you for your tireless efforts and support of this great event. I could not have done it without you.  Having been entrusted by all of you to chair this ever-so-important event, I am truly honored and grateful to God and the A.A. community. I proudly accepted the responsibility and embraced the challenge to make this year’s convention as memorable as possible, worthy of the 50 year anniversary…and I believe we’ve accomplished our mission.

We have such a great convention planned for you, starting with our forever favorite opening ceremony on Friday night, our Saturday Night Banquet, and Sunday Spiritual Breakfast and we look forward to our phenomenal guest speakers from around the country. We’ve assembled some great workshops designed to reinforce your recovery and, as always, marathon meetings hosted by various A.A. groups and clubhouses from the San Fernando Valley.

“Great events will come to pass for you and countless others” I hope this convention touches your heart in the same way it has touched mine. Keep Coming Back!

In Gratitude Service, and Love.

Enjoy!

Robert
