What Is Intergroup?

Intergroup is a service office dedicated to supporting its members in helping newcomers who are seeking Alcoholics Anonymous.

How is it operated?

A small staff of special workers (central-office special-workers)* which includes the Office Manager and an Assistant Manager that manage all daily office activities. There is a 7-member elected board. Each person is a member of Alcholics Anonymous. (Tradition 8) VOLUNTEERS ARE WELCOME.

Who pays for it?

AA group and individual member contributions, the sale of publications from AA World Services, Inc. and the AA Grapevine, sobriety chips, and various other assorted recovery-related materials (i.e., books and pamphlets).

Does my AA Group have a voice in it's affairs?

Yes! Each AA Group should have an Intergroup Representative. In addition to participating in the affairs of Intergroup, those representatives job is to inform their home group about Intergroup and the local service opportunities available.

We have our own meeting place, why do we need Intergroup's help?

Intergroup phone volunteers help newcomers find your meeting location. Your Intergroup phone lines are the permanent link to connect members to AA groups in our zone (Zone 4), in addition to all of Mississippi.

How can my group be of service?

You can start by seeing that your group has a voice (representative) at the monthly Intergroup meeting. Additionally, your group members can contribute their time for the 12th Step opportunities (central-office) ensuring that the AA message reaches the still-suffering alcholic.
