Intergroup

What is ACA’s Intergroup?

(Extracted from the ACA Fellowship Text)

In areas where many ACA meetings exist, an Intergroup is generally formed to provide a forum for conducting ACA business within a given geographical area.

The individual groups continue to conduct their own group business; however, the groups can select a meeting representative to represent the group at an Intergroup meeting.

The Intergroup, therefore, is composed of members from the various ACA groups. The Intergroup helps coordinate helpline functions, public information efforts, hospitals and institutions meetings, and ACA events in a given area.

An ACA Regional Service Committee serves a similar function by helping coordinate ACA functions and fellowship business among Intergroups in a geographical area.

When an Intergroup is formed, each ACA group elects an Intergroup representative, who attends a monthly or quarterly Intergroup meeting.

A Regional Service Committee serves as a coordinating point for several Intergroups in a geographical area. Intergroup Representatives attend Regional Service Committee meetings as well.

Adding a motion to the agenda

If you would like to have a motion added to the monthly agenda, here’s the steps:

  1. Bring the issue to your ACA meeting’s scheduled group business meeting, where members can introduce a motion.
  2. Discuss the motion together, allowing members to share and consider it through the lens of the Twelve Traditions.
  3. Hold a group conscience vote on whether the motion should be taken to Intergroup.
    This honours Tradition 1 by prioritising unity, Tradition 2 by seeking guidance through group conscience rather than individual preference, and Tradition 12 by keeping personalities out of the process.
  4. If the motion is approved, the group’s representative can email Intergroup to request that the motion be added to the next monthly agenda.
  5. Intergroup will then add the motion for the next available monthly agenda
  6. Your GSR will be invited to present on the motion at that intergroup meeting.
