Questions answered in Alcoholics Anonymous manuals
What is the role of a District Committee Member (D.C.M.)?
The D.C.M. is a communication link between the district’s groups and the Area Committee, carrying the collective group conscience to the Delegate and Area Committee. (General Service Manual S31)
How are D.C.M.s elected?
G.S.R.s usually elect the district D.C.M. for a two-year term in November before the year of their district rotation. Even numbered districts begin their D.C.M. term on even years, odd numbered districts begin on odd numbered years.
What is the role of a GSR in Alcoholics Anonymous?
The GSR is the link in the chain of communication for groups with the General Service Conference and the world of A.A., helping to maintain unity and strength by bringing information to groups to reach an informed group conscience.
How is Area 42 structured?
Area 42 is divided into two entities: the Northern Area General Service Committee (NAGSC) and the Southern Area General Service Committee (SAGSC), due to geographic and linguistic considerations.
What is an A.A. group?
… much attention has been drawn to the extraordinary liberties which the A.A. Traditions accord to the individual member and to his group: no penalties to be inflicted for nonconformity to A.A. principles; no fees or dues to be levied….voluntary contributions only; no member to be expelled from A.A. — membership always to be the choice of the individual; each A.A. group ought to conduct its internal affairs as it wishes - it being merely requested to abstain from activities that might injure A.A. as a whole; and finally that any group of alcoholics gathered together for sobriety may call themselves an A.A. group provided that, as a group, they have no other purpose or affiliation.
