![]() A District is a geographical division within an area that provides an opportunity for the A.A. groups in that vicinity to have a voice in matters affecting groups and A.A. as a whole. Each District Committee is composed of General Service Representatives (GSRs) and interested A.A.’s from AA groups. Each A.A. group may elect one GSR to attend district meetings and Area assemblies to represent their group’s conscience and vote on matters brought before the assembly. A GSR is an A.A. group’s link to the A.A. service structure. Each District Committee elects at least one representative, the District Committee Member (DCM) who serves as an essential link between the District and the Area. As a member of the Area 30 Committee, the District 23 DCM represents District 23’s conscience to the Area 30 Delegate who in turn represents the Area’s conscience at the General Service Conference attended by area delegates from the U.S. and Canada. There are a total of 93 service Areas in North America. Massachussetts is comprised of two Areas: eastern Massachusetts (Area 30) and western Massachusetts (Area 31). Each area may also have one or more central service or intergroup offices that provide services to AA groups. The Worcester Area Intergroup Office is located in Worcester and the Eastern Massachusetts Central Service Office is located in Boston. The Western Massachusetts Intergroup Office is located in Holyoke. There is also a Berkshire Intergroup Office and a Cape Cod Intergroup Office. The A.A. Service Manual describes many of the concepts of service in Alcoholics Anonymous in much greater detail. Area 30 also publishes an Area 30 Handbook for its service volunteers. |
