What this committee does

Intergroups and central offices are local A.A. service centers that answer phones, keep meeting directories, sell literature and coordinate Twelfth Step work. They are coordinate committees of the Area — autonomous, but part of the Area structure; their chairs or directors are voting members of the Assembly, and Area officers visit their meetings on a quarterly rotation. Central offices and general service are complementary, not competitive.

Its work in Area 09

  • Answer the phones — many offices 24 hours a day — and connect callers with A.A. members for Twelfth Step calls.
  • Publish local meeting directories and keep online meeting finders up to date.
  • Sell Conference-approved literature and support local A.A. events.
  • Hold regular intergroup meetings of group representatives: monthly for the English-speaking intergroups and central offices, and usually weekly or twice a month for the Spanish-speaking ones (their meetings are listed on this page; the offices are under Central offices & hotlines on the Resources page).

How to get involved

Ask your group about becoming its intergroup representative. Meeting places and Zoom details are on each intergroup’s website.
