What is a GSR?

A General Service Representative (GSR) is the link between an AA group and AA as a whole.

On page S26 of the AA Service Manual, we find: “The GSR represents the voice of the group conscience, reporting the group’s thoughts to the district committee member (DCM) and to the delegate, who passes them on to the Conference.”

It is recommended that GSRs have at least two years of sobriety, time to commit to meetings, and the ability to listen to differing points of view.

Suggestions for new GSRs

    1. If your group is new, please complete a New Group Form, otherwise complete a GSR Change Form
        and send it to the Area registrar

    2. Read the pamphlet GSR - May Be the Most Important Job in AA
  

    3. Read Is Your Group Linked to AA as a Whole? on AA General Service Office Web site
