Description
In Alcoholics Anonymous, the G.S.R. (General Service Representative) pamphlet (P-19) is titled “G.S.R. Your Group’s Link to A.A. as a Whole.” [1]
The pamphlet outlines how this elected “trusted servant” acts as the vital two-way street connecting an individual homegroup to the rest of the worldwide fellowship.
Key responsibilities and functions detailed in the pamphlet include:
- Sharing Information: Keeping the homegroup informed about important A.A. news, service opportunities, and matters discussed at the district and area levels. [1]
- The Group Conscience: Transmitting the ideas, opinions, and collective voice of the group to A.A.’s General Service Conference.
- Conference Selection: Helping select the delegates who ultimately vote at the General Service Conference.
- Service Structure: Providing new representatives with step-by-step guidance on how to get involved, understand A.A.’s structure, and utilize helpful service resources.
