Netherlands (Holland) Area

C.A. Netherlands (Holland) had its first meeting in The Hague August 25, 2000.

In 2004, C.A. Holland had three meetings in Amsterdam and two in The Hague and was ratified as an Area September 1, 2004 at the World Conference.

In 2009, there were 25 meetings and the area decided to district into South and North Holland. A year later, they hosted the first 3-day international convention. By 2015 they had reached 70 meetings.Their third district East was formed and for the first time, two Dutch delegates went to the world service conference.

After 19 years, CA Holland has “Come of Age” – which was the name of the 2018 convention. They have 118 meetings throughout most of the country, which makes us the largest non- English speaking C.A. area. They will host the 10th international convention in 2019.
