About Us
An area is a geographical division within a state or province.
A general service conference delegate comes from an area. In
Massachusetts
there are two areas -- the Eastern Mass. Area (Area 30) and the
Western Mass. Area (Area 31).
The Eastern Massachusetts area committee consists of eight Area
Officers, D.C.M.'s from 26 geographically defined districts and
two Spanish districts, seven Conference and five Standing Committees.
The area committee is responsible for the health of the conference
structure and thus for growth and harmony in the A.A. fellowship.
The Area Committee meets monthly and hears reports and proposals
which may be presented to the Area Assembly.
An Area 30 Assembly is any meeting of area G.S.R.'s and the Area
Committee. Voting members of the Assembly are all currently serving
G.S.R.'s (or alternates) and all members of the Area Committee. Among
other things, the Area Assembly hears reports from Area Officers
and takes action on proposals presented The Area Assembly meets
five times a year. The area assembly is the mainspring of the
Conference structure - the democratic voice of the movement expressing
itself. Assemblies are the responsibility of the area committee,
and are conducted by its chairperson.
