US Collaboration of Zones– Vision Statement
Through the collaborative efforts of the US Zones of NA, we are inspired in unity to coordinate services of which this collective is uniquely qualified. This collaboration seeks to provide a source of experience and inspiration to share with NA communities, as requested by the US Zones.

- Energize and stimulate the growth of NA in the United States by enhancing cooperation, coordination, and information sharing.
A collaboration of US Zones will be directly accountable to the zones of the US. It will include the US Zones in its discussions and projects with both regular reporting and active listening. It will strive to be responsive to requests for help from any service body, and closely coordinate and collaborate with the US Zones. We will always remember who we serve and why.
