The Vermont Area World Service Committee (the AWSC) serves as the Area’s group conscience, meeting regularly between the semi-annual Area Assemblies. Members serve a three-year term and are elected at a Fall Assembly. The 2025-2027 term began 1/1/2025 and ends 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. If you’d like to serve in the 2025-2027 term, please contact chair@vermontalanonalateen.org.

When serving at the Area level, it is helpful to have had previous service experience at the group and/or district 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)
All committee members are asked to attend all committee meetings in order to create an informed group conscience and to conduct Area business.
When attendance is not possible, members are asked to send in a report to fulfill Tradition 9 (“directly responsible to those they serve”). Expenses such as driving costs are reimbursed by the Area.
