GENERAL SERVICE
REPRESENTATIVE (GSR)
GSR’s
are elected by the members of their group. They have the job of linking the
groups with A.A. as a whole. They represent the voice of the group
conscience, reporting it to the district committee member and area
conference delegate. In turn, it may then be passed on to the annual
General Service Conference in New York. We realize that whatever
“authority” there is in A.A. resides in the group conscience. General
qualifications, duties, and election procedures of the GSR are listed in the
A.A. Service Manual. Local duties include the following:
|
Attend
district meetings, area assemblies and area workshops. |
|
Assist
the group in ordering literature. A good supply of literature should be
maintained. Literature is one of the most effective ways to carry the
message. |
|
Inform
alternate GSR of all activities/actions transpiring within the district.
|
|
Serve
as central point of contact for all activities concerning the group. |
|
Request copies of “Meeting Directory” from district directories
coordinator. |
|
Inform
the district directories coordinator of any changes with their group, i.e.
– location, meeting time, etc. |

District
Committee Member (D.C.M.)
“The district
committee member (D.C.M.) is an essential link between the group G.S.R. and
the area delegate to the General Service Conference. As leader of the
district committee, made up of all G.S.R.s in the district, the D.C.M. is
exposed to the group conscience of that district. As a member of the area
committee, he or she is able to pass on the district’s thinking to the
delegate and the committee.”
