The Vermont Area World Service Committee (AWSC) serves as the Area’s group conscience and meets regularly between the semi-annual Area Assemblies. Committee members attend committee meetings in order to create an informed group conscience and to conduct Area business. Members are asked to send in a report to fulfill Tradition 9 (“directly responsible to those they serve”) – when they cannot attend a meeting.
The 2025-2027 term (Panel 65) is 1/1/2025 through 12/31/2027. The chair may elect members to open positions that were not filled at assembly. The election of the members take place at the following assembly. Contact the area chair at: chair@vermontalanonalateen.org.
Service Experience
It is helpful to have had previous service experience at the group and/or district level in serving at the area level. Outgoing Area Committee members are often available to provide training and support.
“Tolerance, responsibility, flexibility, and vision” are helpful qualities. (Concept 9, p. 202, Al-Anon/Alateen Service Manual)
See p67-69 in the Al-Anon/Alateen Service Manual about AWSC service.
