Intergroup Service and Vacant Positons
The groups are the powerhouse of Alcoholics Anonymous, and all related service committees, boards and officers exist primarily to serve them. Thus, the aim of Intergroup is to support the groups in the common purpose of carrying the AA message to the still suffering alcoholic and, by using their combined strength and unity, to develop and maintain good relations with all organisations in the community.
Vacant Positions
Region Representative - 3 years sobriety required
The Region Representative links Intergroup and its GSRs to the wider Fellowship of AA via London Region North, in exactly the same way as the GSR is the vital link between the Group and Intergroup. Region Reps from all the London Intergroups North of the River gather quarterly (on the first Sunday morning in March, June, September and December) to share experience and hear what is happening on the Regional Sub-committees and the Board of Trustees. The Regional bodies are purely administrative; budgetary decisions, election of officers and so on are all passed by conscience of the GSRs in the annual General Assembly or pre- and post-Conference meetings, but it's where proposals for those are hammered out, application of the Traditions and Concepts discussed and recommendations made.
Employment Liaison Officer - 2 years sobriety required
The Employment Liaison Officer assumes responsibility for interfacing with all sectors of commerce and industry, developing and maintaining contact lists. The focus of the task is closely linked with that of the Public Information Rep, so that close coordination between these two posts is essential. It is also helpful to be in contact with the Prison and Health Reps with the aim of forming a committee of fellow AAs willing to pass the message. The committee can then coordinate with employers by informing them about AA, what we are, what we can and cannot do. We let them know we are available to help in any way we can when they call on us.
Electronic Communications Liaison Officer - 2 years sobriety required
The Electronic Communications Liaison Officer (ECLO) liaises between individual AA Groups, Intergroup, Region and the Electronics Communications Sub-Committee (ECSC) to facilitate correlation and dissemination of relevant information between these principal service areas. The ECLO is responsible for updating the local intergroup page and for answering emails sent to West End AA. They will attend the regional quarterly meetings for all Electronic Communications Liaison Officers; the ECLO then reports back to the West End Intergroup. The ELCO will keep Intergroup apprised of the latest developments with the national AA website and the proposed regional and national initiatives regarding online communications.
Prison and Probation Liaison Officer - 2 years sobriety required
General guidelines applying to all Intergroup PLOs include keeping informed via Region and GSO on Home Office and Conference policy with regards to specific subjects such as parole, the use of AA tapes and other published AA materials, and helping prison sponsors with problems and concerns. The GSO and General Service Board maintain excellent contact with the Home Office Prison Department. Intergroup should communicate with GSO regarding problems that may arise. The Prison Liaison coordinates closely with the Probation Representative and arranges prison sponsors to carry the message to inmates through correspondence and one-to-one contact. The PLO is expected to attend monthly Intergroup meetings and make a short verbal report of current activities.
