General Service Respresentative

The General Service Representative (GSR) is perhaps the most important role in AA. It is through their GSR that each group has a voice and a vote in larger AA matters. This connection helps keep AA unified, both in a practical sense and spiritually. We wouldn't last long as a fellowship if it weren't for the service of GSRs such as yourself.

For new GSRs, the learning curve can feel steep. For example, spending most of your Saturday at an Area Assembly (more on that below), can feel tedious. This page is dedicated to covering the basics of what you need to know so your time is well spent, and your group will be well represented.

The 2021 Delegate’s Questionnaire has arrived!

Please use the button below to submit your group’s responses to the Delegate’s Questionnaire.

GSR Meeting Schedule

Over the course of their two-year term, GSRs are encouraged to attend Area Assemblies, their county general service meeting, their district meeting, and of course their home group's business meeting. To find out the schedule of your county and district meetings, visit your county's general service site or email your county's chairperson. Find both of these in About SENY.

Updating your group’s info

Making sure you and your group are registered with up-to-date information is the first thing to do as a new GSR. The easiest way to do that is through our Area Registrar, and separately through your county's Registrar. Our Area Registrar will make sure the info makes it to the General Service Office. Click the button below for the Area form and contact info for your county's Registrar.

Additional Resources

Here's some additional reading material you can check out over time. Your service sponsor (they're great!) can probably recommend where it makes sense to start based on your current commitment.
