Chair & Alternate
The chairperson coordinates activities with other group officers — and with those members who assume the responsibility for literature, programming individual meetings within the group, and other vital functions.
​
The more informed that chairpersons — and other group officers — are about A.A. as a whole, the better they function. By keeping Tradition One firmly in mind and encouraging members to become familiar with all the Traditions, they will help to ensure a healthy A.A. group
​

Secretary & Alternate
Like chairpersons, secretaries need to be good all-around group servants. For groups that have no chairpersons, they may perform the tasks associated with that position. While each group has its own procedures, the secretary is generally expected to: 

• Announce and/or post information about important A.A. activities and events.
• Maintain minutes of officer and group conscience meetings.
• Maintain an email address for distribution of information and answering inquiries.
• Make certain that the General Service Office and other service entities are informed, in writing, of any changes of address, meeting place or Group officers.​
• Maintain the group's website, including posting the group conscience minutes each month.

​

General Service Representative (GSR) & Alternate
Working via the district and area committees, the GSR is the group’s link with the General Service Office (GSO), through which U.S. and Canadian groups share their experience and voice A.A.’s collective conscience. Sometimes called “the Guardians of the Traditions,” GSR becomes familiar with A.A.’s Third Legacy — our spiritual responsibility to give service freely. GSR:

• Represents the group at district meetings and area assemblies.
• Keeps group members informed about general service activities in their local areas.
• Receive and share with their groups all correspondence from the General Service Office, including the newsletter Box 4-5-9, which is G.S.O.’s primary tool for communicating with the Fellowship.

GSR's also may assist their groups in solving a variety of problems, especially those related to the Traditions. In serving their groups, they can draw on all the services offered by G.S.O. An alternate GSR is elected at the same time in the event that the GSR may be unable to attend all district and area meetings. Alternate GSR's should be encouraged to share the responsibilities of the GSR at the group, district and area levels. (See The A.A. Service Manual, Chapter 2, “The Group and its GSR,” for further information.)
