  • In the absence of both Chairperson and Alternate-Chairperson, the Treasurer shall assume the duties of the Chairperson.

Members-At-Large

Five (5) Members-At-Large selected by geographic area when possible.

Office Manager

The Office Manager (OM) participates as a member of SC but does not have a vote on agenda items concerning OM employment, compensation, or benefits.

The SC oversees the daily operation of the Intergroup office and is directly responsible to the members/groups of Intergroup.

All SC members need five years of continuous sobriety and at lease one year’s experience in Intergroup or other AA service organization activities.

Note:
In the event that no volunteer meeting the sobriety requirement is identified, the IGRs gathered in the meeting may waive this requirement.  That person is then required to have a mentor who meets the requirements and agrees to review the candidate’s actions when fulfilling the duties of his/her office.

The four elected officers and the SC members at large are elected for a term of one (1) year, not to exceed two terms in any one position, except for the Treasurer who may be re-elected at the discretion of the IGR’s being mindful of the spirit of rotation.

Elections

Steering Committee elections are held in accordance with the Third Legacy procedure of Alcoholics Anonymous at the regular October meeting of the IGRs.

In the event of a vacancy in office being filled mid-term, such election of officer will not be considered to be a full term. The person filling such vacancy will be permitted to, if elected, serve two full terms in addition to the unexpired term.
