Trusted Servants

From the pamphlet, The AA Group: Where it all begins. 2005, p. 16.

It takes people to get group jobs done. Most of us agree that A.A. ought never be ‘organized.’ However, without endangering our commitment to preserve our spiritual and democratic Fellowship, we can create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve (Tradition Nine). In AA groups, these trusted servants are called ‘officers’ and are usually chosen by the group for limited terms of service. As Tradition Two reminds us, ‘Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern.’

Service in GROW

GROW provides many opportunities for service work, a cornerstone of our sobriety. We rely on our trusted servants, as well as a steering committee, to help keep the group running smoothly. Besides the familiar positions found in most face-to-face A.A. groups, we also have Trusted Servants responsible for the tasks necessary to maintain an online group.

You can contact a Trusted Servant for advice and more information about Grow’s operation. Click on the name of the Trusted Servant to send them an e-mail message.

Grow members can serve Grow in other ways, too. Sharing On Topic each week is service. Writing a welcome message to new members is service. Writing to women whose shares reveal they’re struggling is service. Sponsoring other women in Grow is service.
