The D.C.M. (District Committee Member)
What is a D.C.M.
The heart of A.A. is the group, which elects a general service representative (G.S.R). The G.S.R. attends district meetings that are made up of the groups in that district and any interested members of A.A. The G.S.R.s elect a D.C.M.. Thus, the D.C.M. is a vital link between the G.S.R.s and the area service structure, including the area’s Delegate to the General Service Conference.
When is the D.C.M. elected?
The D.C.M.s are usually elected by the G.S.R.s within their districts at the area assembly meeting at which the Alternate Delegate is elected.
