A Word From Our Co-District Committee Members

Hello District 2,

We are glad to announce the creation of a District 2 website for the dissemination of information to all groups and members of Colorado AA District 2 here in Mesa County. The intent of this website is to provide a central location for all documents and information received from the General Service Office of Alcoholics Anonymous (GSO), Area 10 in Colorado, as well as District 2. The Co-District Committee Members’s (DCMs) and Alternate Co-DCM, along with the website committee will manage this website and its security for all documents and content stored on it. This has been a 2-year process, and we hope this becomes a valuable tool for our GSR’s and DCM’s to utilize and efficiently improve time management.

The Group Service Representatives (GSRs), the DCMs and officers of District 2 are a vital link between each member of AA and its national governing body (GSO). Please talk with your service sponsor and consider getting involved. Without a GSR, your group’s voice will go unheard.

Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions or concerns.

In Service, the Co and Alt – DCMs of Colorado AA District 2

District 2 Officers and Standing Committees

Co-District Committee Members

In District 2, we have C0-District Committee Members whose job it is to facilitate our District 2 Committee meetings and support our GSRs in representing their group’s conscience.

February 2026 District 2 Committee Meeting Summary

Agenda Items Decided

- - Conrad was voted in as our new PI Chairperson.
  - We decided to amend the Procedure Guide to Allow Committee Chairs to request a Co-Committee Chair to be voted on. This was in response to needing a female Treatment Chair to handle meetings in the female side of treatment centers. Dena will be standing for that position during the March meeting.
  - In response to additional money received in December 2025 beyond the amount used to set the 2026 budget, an AdHoc was created to make recommendations as to what to do with the money and to propose/ clarify language in the Procedure Guide to provide guidance for similar situations in the future. See background here (D2 CoDCM Documents for Group Consideration)

FYI

- - I will be presenting a bid at the Spring Assembly for the 2027 State Convention. Presenting this bid does not make our district be responsible for the cost or the planning of the State Convention.

Items to Discuss at Group Conscious Meetings: Decision Needed

- - Conrad, the new PI Chairperson spoke to us about the new “Adopt-a-Rack” program where groups can “adopt” a community location and be both financially and physically responsible for upkeep of the rack. GSRs are asked to take that info back to their groups and gauge interest. Conrad will update us with what the financial responsibility will be, but it is estimated to be $25-$30 to start and then the cost of purchasing literature to keep the rack full.
  - We discussed the two motions which will be presented at the Spring Assembly. Info for these motions have been emailed previously but can be found here (D2 CoDCM Documents for Group Consideration). Please take the info back to your groups and be ready to vote on them at our next District 2 business meeting. Just a reminder that GSRs will ALSO be voting at the Spring Assembly on these issues. Our vote at the district level is intended to enable me to have a fully informed vote for the district. The two motions are:
    - Assembly Scheduling Recommendation #3
      - That Area 10 hold a standalone virtual (online only) Election Assembly in late September or the first weekend in October of even number years to conduct Area 10 elections on a trial basis.
    - Assembly Bidding Recommendation #1
      - That Area 10 affirm the existing process that districts bid for assemblies with the assistance of the Area 10 Contract Coordinator.

Items to Discuss at Group Conscious Meetings: No Decision Needed

- - Documents for PAIs (Proposed Agenda Items) which were forwarded and under consideration for the 2026 Conference can be found here (D2 CoDCM Documents for Group Consideration). There will be breakout groups at the Spring Assembly where a few of these topics will be discussed in order to help our delegate when she is at the General Service Conference. We will NOT be voting on these items, just discussing the ones which Martha feels are most relevant.

Business Items on the Agenda that we did not address (Old Business)

- Discussion regarding the Gratitude BAnquet
  - Is there a different way that groups would like to receive financial information from the district?
- Committee Members voting at District Meetings
  - Should District 2 Committee Chairs & Members who are not GSRs be allowed to vote at District meetings?
- Fully funded budget discussion
  - Increasing/Decreasing budget – is there a better way?
