Thank you for taking the time to fill out this important survey featuring the purpose statements drafted by our Structures working group. The purpose statements will help us summarize our vision and help offer direction for what we do within and on behalf of this collective — they will hugely influence our work here together, and they are our WHO, WHAT, AND WHY. To give credit where credit is due, the process and exercise for collecting purpose statements from our inside and outside community was designed by Dr. Aisha Rios, Kelsey Westbrook, Angela P. Thomas, Kelly Parry-Johnson, and Daniel Smolkin.

These statements are the result of a review and synthesis of feedback we gathers from inside and outside AA community last year. We are imagining multiple purpose statements might be appropriate rather than a single one, so please feel free to react and respond to more than one statement if you feel compelled by it. We want these statements to embody your work here individually as much as it does collectively, and the more feedback we get, the better. Thank you, and please feel free to reach out with questions. If you're reading a paper version of this survey, please reach out to your penpal directly with questions. If you're filling out digitally, reach out to #structure on Slack with questions!
