A District is a geographical division within an Area that provides an opportunity for the groups in that vicinity to have a voice in matters affecting other groups and A.A. as a whole. Each District has a District Committee that is made up of representatives from its many AA groups. These representatives are called General Service Representatives or G.S.R.s. Each group may elect a G.S.R. who will attend the District meetings and Area assemblies in order to represent the group and vote the group's conscience. The District Committee elects a representative -- a District Committee Member, or D.C.M., who is an experienced G.S.R., to serve as an essential link between the group G.S.R. and the Area Delegate. As a member of the area committee, the D.C.M. is able to pass on the District's thinking to the delegate an the committee. In Massachusetts there are 26 districts in Eastern Mass. Area (Area 30).
