The Area 34
General Service Assembly
AREA 34 ASSEMBLY
How it Works!
Area 34 holds periodic business meetings “The Assembly” (10 per calendar year) where we attend to a wide range of A.A. business throughout western Michigan. This is also where committees report their activities to the Area Assembly body and where DCMs report back the business of their district’s.
One of the most important functions is electing the delegate to represent us at the annual General Service Conference. Area 34 elections are usually held in October for rotation on January 1st of even numbered years.
The Assembly consists of GSRs, DCMs, elected committee chairs, elected officers, and past delegates as voting members. All A.A. Members are welcome. The Assembly rotates locations throughout western Michigan.
GEOGRAPHY OF AREA 34
Area 34 encompasses 36 counties along Michigan’s west coast. This includes the 3 easternmost counties of our Upper Peninsula. The southernmost boundary borders Indiana, moving northward to the eastern portion of the U.P., Sault Ste. Marie at the Canadian border.
Area 34 covers approximately 22,000 square miles of varying population density. We touch upon three of our Great Lakes, enjoying 650 miles or so, of beautiful beaches. No salt, no sharks!!
The groups are served by 17 active districts; 1 linguistic non-geographical Spanish district, and 11 standing committees.
