What are the NA World Service Conference 2025 Report and Just for Today on the Upper Midwest Region website?
Updated
The Upper Midwest Region of Narcotics Anonymous (umrna.org) lists two resources on its home page: an NA World Service Conference 2025 Report and Just for Today. The World Service Conference report is a summary of the annual conference where Narcotics Anonymous groups worldwide make decisions affecting the fellowship; Just for Today is NA's daily meditation book, with a reading for each calendar day. Both appear as links or announcements on the site, so the exact content sits behind those links rather than on the home page itself.
What the NA World Service Conference 2025 Report is
The World Service Conference (WSC) is Narcotics Anonymous's annual business meeting, where delegates from regions around the world gather to discuss and vote on matters that affect NA as a whole. A "2025 Report" published by a region is that region's account of what happened at the conference — the motions, discussions, and outcomes — written for the members it serves.
For a reader in the Upper Midwest Region, the report answers questions like:
- What decisions were made at the 2025 conference?
- What does the region's delegate want local members to know?
- Are there changes coming that affect meetings or service structure?
Because the report is a region-level document, its contents reflect what the Upper Midwest Region chose to share, not necessarily the full conference record. To read the actual report, follow the link on the umrna.org home page.
What Just for Today is
Just for Today is Narcotics Anonymous's daily reading book. It contains one entry per day of the year, each built around a short theme, a personal reflection, and a closing thought. Members commonly read the day's entry individually in the morning or use it to open a meeting.
On the Upper Midwest Region site, "Just for Today" appears alongside the conference report as a resource link. Depending on how the site links it, that may point to the day's reading, an archive, or information about the book itself. If you want the current day's reading, click the link and check what it opens to — the home page excerpt alone doesn't show the destination.
How these fit into the site overall
Both items sit in the same area of the home page as meeting and event announcements, such as the note that the Key to Freedom meeting in Bismarck has returned to a hybrid format. That placement tells you what kind of content they are: service and literature resources for members, not meeting listings.
| Item | What it is | Who it's for |
|---|---|---|
| NA World Service Conference 2025 Report | Region's account of the 2025 WSC | Members interested in NA service and decisions |
| Just for Today | NA's daily meditation reading | Anyone using NA literature day to day |
What to do next
- For the conference report: open the link from the umrna.org home page and read the region's summary. If you need the official worldwide record rather than the region's version, check NA World Services directly.
- For Just for Today: click the link to see whether it opens the current day's reading or general information, then use it as a daily reading or meeting opener.
- For meeting changes instead: these two resources won't help — use the meeting and event changes section of the site, which is where updates like the Bismarck hybrid meeting notice appear.
The home page excerpt confirms these items exist as links but doesn't include their contents, so treat the site itself as the source for the full report and reading.
