Other Service Entities

Intergroup provides services to local groups and members that are beyond the scope of individual meetings, such as Central Office and the aasfmarin.org website. Intergroup works in cooperation with other service entities such as: General Service which is our link to A.A as a whole; H & I whose purpose is to carry the message of Alcoholics Anonymous to the alcoholic who is confined; and Marin Teleservice which provides phone coverage when Central Office is closed and ensures 12th step workers are available to alcoholics in need. Each of these service entities co-exist in mutual cooperation and harmony.

Intergroup Reps vote on matters that affect SF and Marin groups locally – like our meeting schedule – whereas General Service Representatives vote on matters that affect the policy of the legal entity that oversees the operation of AA’s worldwide headquarters (GSO) in New York.
