Here in Area 55 the Alt.
Del. has two service positions, that of the Alt. Del., and also the Chairperson
of the Area Assembly, which is responsible for the smooth running of the area
assemblies, making sure groups are notified of dates and time of assembly
meetings.
The Alt.Del. will attend
with the Delegate all Mini Conferences in the state of Ohio, The East Central
regional Conferences, The East Central Regional Forum, The Past and Present
Delegate’s Convention, and The Ohio State Convention. And also, be available
to take over for the Delegate in case of an emergency.
The Alt. Del. chairs the
quarterly D.C.M. meeting, working closely with the D.C.M.`s and area Registrar
to help keep group information currant and reported to the G.S.O. accurately.
If you are thinking
about standing for a term as Alternate Delegate/Chairperson of Area 55, you need
to ask yourself these questions:
| How
well did you do as a G.S.R.? Did you enjoy the responsibilities?
Were you active? |
| Have
you discussed it with you family and your employer?
Will the time be available to do the work required? |
| Are
you familiar with The A. A. service manual, A. A. Comes of Age? And
of course with the Twelve Steps, Twelve Traditions, and the Twelve
Concepts? |
| Have
you talked it over with Past Delegates to get an idea of how
much time and effort required and the sort of work
you will need to do? |
