What is the World Service Conference?
The World Service Conference (WSC) is the annual meeting of the Chronic Pain Anonymous (CPA) worldwide fellowship. It is a gathering of group Delegates, Intergroup Delegates, General Advisory Council officers, General Service Virtual Office administrators, and Board of Trustees members. Through their service at the WSC, these trusted servants ensure the best guidance and support of the fellowship as a whole. The purpose of the WSC is to provide a forum where the issues and policies affecting all CPA groups can be discussed and where informed decisions can be made with all members of the Fellowship represented.

Substantial Unanimity Calculation
To determine the number of votes needed for substantial unanimity (su), multiply the number of voting members (vm) by the percentage you have decided upon in your group conscience (.66 for 2/3 or .75 for 3/4).
For example:
2/3 substantial unanimity: vm x .66 = su
3/4 substantial unanimity: vm x .75 = su
