Eastside Intergroup Structure

There are nine mem­bers on the Board of Di­rec­tors, each with a term of three years. Every April three of these Board mem­bers ro­tate out, and three new Board mem­bers are elected to re­place them.

East King County In­ter­group As­so­ci­a­tion of Al­co­holics Anony­mous (ESIG) main­tains a web­site to ful­fill its re­spon­si­bil­i­ties un­der the Cor­po­rate By­laws and the gen­eral AA Re­spon­si­bil­ity pledge. ES­IG’s ser­vice area stretches from Mer­cer Is­land into the Cas­cades and from New­cas­tle to Mill Creek. The web­site serves four pri­mary func­tions to peo­ple in its ser­vice area:

  1. To pro­vide a pri­mary in­for­ma­tion re­source about the pro­gram of Al­co­holics Anony­mous for any­one who wishes to quit drink­ing.
  2. To pro­vide in­for­ma­tion re­gard­ing AA meet­ings in its ser­vice area. To reg­is­ter your meet­ing click here for registration form
  3. To pro­vide in­for­ma­tion re­gard­ing AA events in its ser­vice area.
  4. To pro­vide links to in­di­vid­u­als for in­for­ma­tion on Groups and Dis­tricts in its ser­vice area, as well as links to Area 72 and to the GSO in New York.

The In­ter­group struc­ture is gov­erned by a set of by­laws that were ap­proved in 1998. They are re­vised, from time to time, through a for­mal pro­ce­dure. Cur­rent by­laws are avail­able upon re­quest at the In­ter­group of­fice. They are also posted on the web­site.

Our finances

The of­fice and is sup­ported by con­tri­bu­tions from AA groups and in­di­vid­u­als, do­na­tions from oc­ca­sional AA events, and lit­er­a­ture and medal­lion sales. Many years ago our co‐founder Bill W. warned the mem­ber­ship about the ac­cu­mu­la­tion of money re­serves “for no stated AA pur­pose”, and East­side In­ter­group ad­heres to that prin­ci­ple as a non‐profit en­tity.

Disclaimer

A.A. Tra­di­tion Four states that “(e)ach group should be au­tonomous ex­cept in mat­ters af­fect­ing other groups or AA as a whole”. There­fore, East King County In­ter­group As­so­ci­a­tion of Al­co­holics Anony­mous (ESIG) does not mon­i­tor groups’ com­pli­ance with the prin­ci­ples of AA. ESIG makes no rep­re­sen­ta­tion con­cern­ing any group in­cluded in this web­site or in any printed ma­te­ri­als dis­trib­uted by the ESIG.

In ad­di­tion, AA and ESIG have no opin­ion on the ef­fi­cacy of any out­side in­sti­tu­tion or pro­gram. Any ref­er­ence to out­side ser­vices, pro­grams or in­sti­tu­tions is pro­vided only as a con­ve­nience to the user of the ma­te­r­ial. This in­for­ma­tion should not be con­sid­ered as a rec­om­men­da­tion or en­dorse­ment.
