What is an Intergroup Delegate

About the time you say, “I may as well not be here” or “The Service Committee can
operate without my help”, you need to take a look at why your job here is so important.

    Service Committee;
  4. Approve or disapprove the Vice-Chair’s succession to Chairperson, Chair’s

    Delegates 5 days in advance by telephone or electronically of the meeting’s
    location and business;

    by-laws.

    or leases of assets, seeking Delegate approval when required;
