The geographical units known as districts link A.A. groups in local areas to each other and to A.A. groups across the country. The term “district” was mentioned during early General Service Conferences, and both “district” and “district committee member” were used informally in the 1950s. The term “district” was included in the 1955 draft of The Third Legacy Manual of World Service (now called The A.A. Service Manual). A 1975 supplement to The A.A. Service Manual formalized use of the term “district.”

Individual groups elect general service representatives (G.S.R.s) who attend district meetings. This group elects the district committee member. The D.C.M. conveys the group conscience of their district’s A.A. members to the area committee.

As The A.A. Service Manual explains, the “district committee member is an essential link between the group G.S.R. and the area delegate to the General Service Conference. As leader of the district committee, made up of all G.S.R.s in the district, the D.C.M. is exposed to the group conscience of that district.”
