Intergroup Representatives

What is an intergroup representatives responsible for?

The intergroup representative is responsible to vote their group's conscience at Intergroup Meetings. Similar to an AA Group business meeting, the Intergroup meeting is the monthly AA business meeting covering the affairs of AA in the Vancouver and Lower Mainland area of British Columbia (Intergroup Area). The Group conscience is made up of elected Intergroup Representatives from their groups.

The intergroup representative tries to keep their group well informed about what the intergroup is doing. The intergroup representative is responsible for participating in Intergroup meetings with other such representatives monthly to share the experience in carrying the AA message through the services provided by GVIS Intergroup.

How do I become an intergroup representative?

An intergroup representative is usually voted in at his or her home group. If you home group does not have an Intergroup Rep, you could suggest at your next group conscience that your group elected one.

They voted for me in a intergroup representative, now what do I do?

It is suggested that the Intergroup Representative attend the monthly meeting on the third Tuesday of the month at 3022 E. 49th (near Kerr - see map below). Prior to each monthly Intergroup Meeting is an Orientation for new Intergroup Reps or any AA member wishing to know more about Intergroup. We look forward to seeing you there!
