DISTRICT TWO PREAMBLE

RECOVERY, UNITY AND SERVICE

These are the Three Legacies off our AA experience. Our leaders are but trusted servants, they

do not govern. God, as He may speak in our group conscience, is our sole authority. World

Service is the heart of our Third Legacy. Our meetings are informative and educational. They are

held so that the Committee Members, GSR’s and all interested members may be better

equipped to carry the message of World Service back to their home groups and individual

members, thus giving a better understanding to our purpose, our hopes and our work.

DISTRICT TWO AREA 14 NORTH FLORIDA STRUCTURES AND GUIDELINES

PREFACE

These by-laws are not intended to replace the current A.A. Manual. Most of these by-laws

come directly from the A.A. Service Manual. Each General Service District is autonomous and

these by-laws are used to assist in clarifying matters which pertain specifically to District Two

and our relationship with the North Florida Area Conference.

DEFINITION

District Two is an On-Line General Service District that has no geographic boundaries. District

Two A.A. Groups are also registered with the General Service Office as well as the North Florida

Area Conference. The District elects every two years a slate of Officers and the term they serve

is concurrent with the General Service Conference and North Florida Area Conference panels.

The District Two Slate of Officers are:

1) District Committee Member (Who also serves as Chairperson)

2) Alternate District Committee Member

3) Secretary

4) Treasurer

District Two holds monthly meetings which are Chaired by the District Committee Member. In

the event the District Committee Member is absent the meeting is then chaired by the

Alternate District Committee Member.

All references to the A.A. Service Manual in these by-laws as well as sharing at district meetings

will be to the most current revision.

Elections that are held are either by written ballot or show of hands, with a majority needed to

elect. The district may also choose to follow Third legacy Procedure which requires a two-thirds
