How is Intergroup run?
Intergroup is run completely by volunteers. Plans are made and priorities set at the monthly meetings of Intergroup Representatives. Its officers – Chair, Viced-Chair, Secretary, Treasurer and Assistant Treasurer – serve one year terms and are elected at the December Intergroup Representatives’ meeting. The officers are assisted by committee chairs who take responsibility for ordering literature, scheduling office volunteers, providing Al-Anon and Alateen members to speak at open meetings, and organize various outreach activities such as meetings for families at treatment facilities or staffing a booth at the Women’s Expo. The real work of Intergroup is done by Al-Anon and Alateen members who volunteer their time to keep the office open, to sell literature at open meetings and roundups, to participate in outreach activities, and to represent their groups at the Intergroup meetings.
