Intergroup Service Vacancies

Current Service Position Vacancies within London North Kent Intergroup:

Public Information (PI) Officer

Public Information (PI) in AA means carrying the message of recovery to the still suffering alcoholic by informing the general public about the AA programme.
We do this by getting in touch with the media managers, Welfare Officers in industry and the Trades’ Unions, Schools and indeed any organisation of a public nature whether it be organised or voluntary, which is in a position to pass on the knowledge of the existence of AA and what it can do for the still suffering alcoholic.

A Public Information Officer is responsible for ensuring that information about the AA message and programme of recovery is conveyed to outside organisations to the best possible advantage. The provision of a panel of members to comply with requests for speakers is an important part of this activity.

The suggested period of continuous sobriety for this position is 3 years. A thorough understanding of the 12 AA traditions is also strongly suggested.

For further information on this position please see Chapter 1 of the AA Service Handbook which can be downloaded from here.

Treasurer

The Treasurer has the responsibility for keeping a proper account of all intergroup finances and ensuring that funds are available for its essential current requirements. An annual budget exercise should be carried out to ensure that appropriate prudent reserves are maintained. The Treasurer reports to intergroup against the budget. Surplus funds should always be transferred promptly to GSO,
ideally via the region treasurer.

The accounts should be open for inspection and presented to intergroup at each meeting. group contributions should be clearly listed so that GSRs can confirm their group’s contributions have been received. This is a fundamental part of the audit trail. Having been audited or independently checked, annual accounts
should be presented by the Treasurer to intergroup for approval at the AGM.

The period of sobriety for this position is suggested as a minimum of 2 years.

For further information please see pages 127 & 128 of the AA Structure Handbook which can be downloaded from here.

Intergroup Share Liaison Officer

The ISLO provides essential contact between members, groups and their region. The main aim is to inform the Fellowship via the groups that the magazine exists. This can be accomplished by visiting groups in the intergroup area, providing subscription forms and helping to set up a subscription. The ISLO is invited to attend an annual Share workshop. They may also attend conventions or other
AA gatherings to raise awareness, encourage the sale of the magazine and seek contributions of articles, photos and cartoons from members.

The length of sobriety required for this position is usually two years, and the officer is expected to serve for two to three years.

Further information can be found in Chapter 12 of the AA Service Handbook which can be downloaded from here.

Telephone Answering Service & Telephone Team Leaders

The main purpose of telephone service is to put the suffering alcoholic in touch with an individual contact (12th Step Responder) or AA group. It is the responsibility of the members of the local group to carry out the necessary Twelfth Step work, to provide a welcome to the new members and to share their experience, strength and hope with them and to help them on the road to recovery. The Hints and Suggestions card for 12th Steppers has been acknowledged for its simple and comprehensive guidance. Awareness of this card needs to be emphasised throughout the Fellowship. A telephone service requires support and participation by the groups and members in its area, not only in a financial sense, but in every aspect of its existence.

A period of 1 years’ continuous sobriety is the suggested requirement for this position.
