Alcoholics Anonymous Oregon Area 58

Oregon Area Past Delegates

Past delegates are members of A.A. who have served Alcoholics Anonymous as a delegate to the General Service Conference for two consecutive years. When their term as delegate ends, they automatically become a past delegate.

The role of the past delegate varies. In Oregon Area #58, we have had several past delegates that continued to be of service by serving on panels, such as Twelve Traditions, Twelve Concepts, “Ask it Basket”, at the area assemblies, district workshops, GSR schools, and conferences.

Some past delegates have chaired the Pacific Regional A.A. Service Assembly (PRAASA) or served as committee chairs for PRAASA. Many past delegates attend PNC, Pacific Northwest Conference, and other A.A. conferences. They are eligible to be a nominee for trustee positions, or serve as a trustee.

Past Delegates From Other Areas

Many past delegates, who have moved from the Area in which they were a delegate, continue to serve A.A. just as they’ve always done since they were first blessed with the gift of sobriety. Some remain active members of their Home Group by serving as greeters, recovery or service sponsors, attending business metings, or showing a newcomer how to make the coffee. Others stay involved with Area Committee functions by participating in correctional, treatment, or hospital meetings and “passing on” that which has so lovingly been “passed on” to them.

Please contact the immediate past delegate (the primary contact for past-delegates) if you have questions or wish more information on past delegate activities. If you are a past delegate and wish to be listed here, please contact the immediate past delegate.
