This subcommittee is responsible for administering the RMR NFG website, document retention technology, and archive storage platforms. To be effective, regular two-way communication and partnership between this committee and the groups, areas, region, and board of directors are essential.

Document retention technology and archive storage platforms ought to be consistent with the corresponding policies of the RMR NFG. This subcommittee maintains and coordinates the use of these technologies. The board of directors is responsible for developing the content and structure of the storage platforms in partnership with the subcommittee.

The Rocky Mountain Region shall host an annual Convention in Colorado on the same weekend, in the same location, as NA’s Convention known as CRCNA. Once CRCNA has selected the location for the next convention, the Convention Chairperson will secure the hotel contract at the same venue.
Convention proceeds from Region Conventions shall be divided such that a portion remains in the Region Convention Account for seed money for the next year (up to $4,000), the balance is added to the RMR NFG general fund.
The current convention subcommittee will develop and maintain a “Pass it On” set of instructional materials within the RMR NFG records and archive folder(s). This form of sharing information ensures the growth and success of future RMR Conventions.

An Events Ad Hoc Subcommittee may be formed to create face-to-face or virtual events on behalf of the fellowship. This subcommittee plans, organizes, and hosts individual recovery or social events for the sole purpose of creating unity within the fellowship.
Social events include but are not limited to hikes, walks, and picnics.
These committees may be formed, as needed, by motion and approval of voting members of the RSC. The purpose of ad hoc or task force committees is to carry out a short-term goal as requested by the RSC.
The RSC must document a clearly defined set of duties and responsibilities before an Ad Hoc or Task Force is formed. In this way, we avoid confusion. These committees are accountable to the RSC or Assembly that created them. They report to the RSC or Assembly upon completion of their assignment. Any resulting recommendations belong to the floor of the RSC or Assembly for final action.
