GSR Meeting/Minutes

When you’re a general service representative (GSR)

You are linking your home group with the whole of A.A. In 1950, a new type of trusted servant, “group representative,” was suggested to help in the selection of delegates to the newly formed General Service Conference. By 1953, the job of group representative was also seen as a good means of exchanging up-to-date information be-tween individual groups and “Headquarters” (now the General Service Office). That’s still an important side of your work. But now, as general service representative, you have an even bigger responsibility: You transmit ideas and opinions, as well as facts; through you, the group con-science becomes a part of “the collective con-science of our whole Fellowship,”     as expressed in the General Service Conference. Like every- thing else in A.A., it works through a series of simple steps.
