The Intergroup Representative is your Home Group’s voice for assuring that your Intergroup Service Office functions and carries out its Primary Purpose. All A.A. groups in Central Minnesota are welcome to participate at St. Cloud Intergroup.
All A.A. groups/squads are eligible for membership. Groups elect an Intergroup Representative (aka SCIR) and an Alternate Representative (ASCIR); they usually serve a 2 year term. Each Group determines length of sobriety for their Representative however experience has shown that at least 2 years is ideal.
Intergroup Reps and Alternate Reps attend the monthly Intergroup Representatives’ Meeting. These ‘Reps Meetings’ are held 12 times per year on the 2nd Monday of every month unless it falls on a Holiday. Intergroup Reps are responsible for two-way communication between their Home Group and Intergroup. Reps may have input into the agenda by communicating requests for agenda additions with the Board Chairperson before the Agenda is approved at the beginning of the Reps Meeting. Minutes from the previous month’s Reps Meeting are available after they have been approved at the Reps Meeting. Copies of the minutes are then available at the Intergroup Office.
