Area 26 Summer Meeting (July 24-26)
The 93 Areas of Alcoholics Anonymous “hold an important position in the U.S./Canada General Service Conference structure. The areas are directly connected to the A.A. groups and their members through DCMs and GSRs. At the same time, they participate in the decision-making of A.A. through area delegates. At the heart of each area is the assembly meeting, where the democratic voice of our Fellowship expresses itself. While each area has the autonomy to conduct its meetings according to its conscience, Concept XII offers the General Warranties of the Conference as the guiding principles to remain democratic in thought and action.”
(A.A. Service Manual, pg. 18)
Area 26 Preamble
Service to the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) shall be the primary purpose of general service in Area 26. In all our proceedings, we shall observe the spirit of the AA Twelve Traditions, the Twelve Concepts, and the Warranties as outlined in “The AA Service Manual.” In the absence of specific indications in the Area 26 Service Handbook or of direct Assembly action, the latest edition of “The AA Service Manual” may be relied upon. For clarification of Area 26 financial responsibilities, the current Area 26 Financial Guidelines shall be adhered to.
This website is designed for members of Alcoholics Anonymous to learn about General Service within A.A. and Area 26. It contains general information about Area 26, its committees, how members of Alcoholics Anonymous are connected to AA as a whole, and offers ways to help the still suffering alcoholic.
