The California Northern Coastal Area of Alcoholics Anonymous was formed in 1951 for these reasons: To promote and enhance the AA Twelve-Step rehabilitation program by establishing a larger communication network; to coordinate activities and disseminate information to the various AA Groups within its service area and to the general public; and to establish and facilitate communication between the autonomous AA Groups, (now more than 2000) in the service area and the Fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous, as a whole. It is a service body of the Fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous organized under the Twelve Traditions of A.A. and the Twelve Concepts of World Service of AA. It serves members and groups of A.A. in sixteen San Francisco Bay Area, coastal, and adjacent counties from Monterey County to the Oregon Border. See how CNCA conducts business.
