The Area Standing Committees primary purpose is to carry message of Alcoholics Anonymous to the still-suffering alcoholic. Some committees do this through direct contact with the public such as the professional community including but not limited to treatment centers and the prison system. The Area Assembly members elect a Committee Chair every 2 years that rotates with the Delegate panel of the General Service Conference. Some committees have only the Chair as the lone member, while others have many members on their committee. It is recommended that the committees have regularly scheduled meetings where members communicate on how they will fulfill their duties as a committee.

The Area 34 committees are always looking for AA members to get involved. If you are interested please contact the committee chair for that standing committee.
