District Committees

The Accessibility Committee works to ensure that the A.A. message is available to everyone, especially those who face barriers such as language differences, physical limitations, or cultural challenges.
We build relationships with the public and relevant agencies to raise awareness about A.A.’s commitment to accessibility.
We also provide support and resources to A.A. groups to help them create welcoming, inclusive environments for all members and newcomers.

The Archives Committee is dedicated to preserving the history of Alcoholics Anonymous within District 13. We collect, organize, and protect documents, records, and memorabilia that reflect the local experience of A.A.
We create portable archives displays for events and workshops, and encourage groups to complete Group History forms so future members can connect with our shared past.
Our goal is to ensure that the rich history of A.A. in our district remains accessible, accurate, and preserved for generations to come.

The CPC Committee works to build respectful and helpful relationships with professionals who come into contact with alcoholics — such as doctors, counselors, clergy, educators, and legal professionals.
Our goal is to provide accurate information about what A.A. is (and isn’t), and to explore ways we can cooperate without affiliation.
Through presentations, literature, and open dialogue, we aim to ensure professionals are informed and able to guide those in need toward A.A. when appropriate.

The Corrections Committee helps carry the A.A. message to alcoholics who are incarcerated within District 13. We reach out to local correctional facilities to inform them about A.A. and coordinate opportunities for 12th Step work behind the walls.
Our efforts include organizing A.A. meetings inside facilities, connecting outside members with those in custody for sponsorship, and supporting A.A. groups who wish to get involved.
We serve as a bridge between correctional institutions and the A.A. community to ensure continued support and access to recovery.

The Grapevine Committee promotes awareness and use of A.A.’s “meeting in print” — the Grapevine and La Viñamagazines.
We introduce members to Grapevine publications, audio content, and special items through displays and announcements at meetings and events.
Our goal is to keep the fellowship informed about new materials, encourage group subscriptions, and support the use of Grapevine as a valuable recovery tool for all members.

The Group Outreach Committee serves as a vital link between the District and individual A.A. groups. We visit local groups to share information about the District and the wider General Service structure, helping members understand how A.A. functions beyond the group level.
We also encourage greater participation in District and Area events, workshops, and service opportunities — ensuring every group feels connected, informed, and included in A.A.’s collective efforts.

The Literature Committee helps A.A. members and groups access the full range of Conference-approved A.A. literature.
We maintain and share displays of books, pamphlets, catalogs, and order forms, and assist groups in obtaining the resources they need.
The committee also stays informed about proposed changes or additions to A.A. literature and audiovisual materials, helping keep the fellowship connected to A.A.’s evolving message and tools for recovery.

The Public Information Committee carries the A.A. message to the public by providing accurate, anonymity-protected information about Alcoholics Anonymous.
We give presentations to schools, organizations, and community groups, and distribute A.A. literature to local institutions such as libraries, health care facilities, churches, and police stations.
We also work with local media through public service announcements, interviews, and press kits to ensure the public has a clear understanding of what A.A. is — and isn’t.

The Registrar plays a key role in maintaining accurate records for District 13.
We connect with new General Service Representatives (GSRs), providing them with the District orientation packet and helping them get started in service.
We also keep Area 36 updated on new groups, GSRs, and Committee Chairs, and assist groups in registering with the General Service Office (GSO), highlighting the benefits of being part of A.A.’s wider service structure.

The Technology Committee manages and maintains the District 13 website, ensuring that all information is accurate, up to date, and accessible to the fellowship and the public.
We support digital tools that help connect members to meetings, service opportunities, and A.A. resources, and assist with technical needs related to communication and outreach.

The Treatment Committee carries the A.A. message of recovery to alcoholics in treatment centers and outpatient facilities throughout District 13.
We work with staff and administrators to share how A.A. works and how it can support individuals in early recovery.
Our efforts include providing literature, guidance for starting A.A. meetings within facilities, and helping bridge the gap between treatment and the A.A. community.
