Living Sober has relied on the service of AA and Al-Anon members since it started in 1976. The conference comes to life each year through the work of our Trusted Servants and event and conference volunteers. Our committee meetings are open to all and a schedule of upcoming meetings is available below. However you decide to participate in Western Roundup Living Sober, we are grateful for your service.
2026 Trusted Servants
We are volunteers organized into three committees: General Planning, Steering Committee, and an Advisory Board. Read more about each committee below to see how the Western Roundup Living Sober conference is created each year. The spiritual principles of the Twelve Traditions, the Twelve Concepts and the Six General Warranties of Alcoholics Anonymous are the over-riding guidelines for Living Sober and assure that our leaders are trusted servants; they do not govern.
General Planning Committee
All Living Sober volunteers, Subcommittee Co-Chairs and Subcommittee members are the decision-making body and act as the group conscience of Living Sober. We get stuff done! We meet at least monthly during the planning year, and as needed.
Steering Committee
The Steering Committee has the responsibility to oversee daily operations during the planning year, conducts General Planning Committee meetings, assembles the yearly budget for the Conference, and acts as a liaison to all subcommittees.
Advisory Board
The Advisory Board acts as the Board of Directors for all legal purposes. It is responsible for all legal and fiduciary matters, has final approval over the yearly budget of the Living Sober Conference and has specific authority to protect the Purpose and Intent of Western Roundup Living Sober of San Francisco.

Be of service: Volunteer!
“Helping others is the foundation stone of recovery.”
AA and Al-Anon members who volunteer for event, fundraiser, and conference commitments help Living Sober continue to carry the message to LGBTQIA+ fellows throughout the year. We are continuously looking for volunteers for year-round events and this year’s conference.
