New to Intergroup?

Want to learn more? Here is some additional information for new or existing Intergroup delegates.
 

• What is an Intergroup Delegate? An AA Intergroup Delegate (or Intergroup Representative, IgR) is a member elected by their local Alcoholics Anonymous group to be a liaison, representing their group's voice, conscience, and needs at larger Intergroup meetings, which coordinate services for many groups in a region. They report back to their home group about Intergroup activities and vote on budgets, policies, and operations for shared services like answering lines and literature, ensuring the Intergroup remains responsible to the groups it serves.
   

• What is Intergroup mission? IAFC is dedicated to aiding Lower Fairfield County A.A. groups to serve together by conducting services best served by a central office and that support the groups’ goal to carry the A.A. message.  The services are focused on helping the still sick and suffering alcoholic, those in A.A. recovery and providing the opportunity for individual AA members to do service.  First among these is a telephone hot line staffed by AA members to help those with a desire to stop drinking, along with a public information effort to let active alcoholics know that there is a solution to their problem. We also offer education about Alcoholics Anonymous to the professional community, to recovery centers and to correctional institutions. Intergroup supports its member groups through a speaker exchange program, literature supply, a monthly newsletter, and fellowship events. The organization is managed by a board of trustees and representation by individual groups throughout the region.  The Board of Trustees set the IAFC policy. IAFC has adopted GSO’s guidelines for intergroups and central offices and consists of committees for IAFC Board members, member group representatives (Reps), and their various committees. In accordance with the AA guidelines, the committees should work in close cooperation with existing committees.
