The purpose of the Edmonton Intergroup Committee
The primary purpose of the Edmonton Intergroup Committee is to help inform the greater Edmonton & area community about AA and alcoholism so that those who need help can find recovery from alcoholism.
Edmonton Intergroup Committee is an organization created and sustained by AA groups in the Greater Edmonton Area. It operates the legally registered not-for-profit entity “Edmonton Central Office Society” to manage the affairs of Edmonton Central Office.
The responsibility for maintaining the existence of Edmonton Intergroup (EI) rests with the groups located in Edmonton and the surrounding districts of Area 78 of Alcoholics Anonymous. The districts whose groups have elected to support EI are Districts 10, 12, 40, 46, 53, 55, 57, 60, 61, and 64. Therefore, each AA group in these districts should name an Intergroup Representative (IGR) and an Alternate (Alt-IGR) to serve a specified term as the connecting link between their group and EI.
