Treasurer

The position of group treasurer is one of the most responsible positions in any A.A. group. The work of the group treasurer often involves many details. It is important to remember that the money serves a spiritual purpose: it enables each group to fulfill its primary purpose: carrying the A.A. message to the alcoholic who still suffers. This is the fundamental work of A.A., and to continue it the group must keep its doors open. This is an important part of this Twelfth Step work.

AA GSO Guidelines for Finance:

A.A. Guidelines are compiled from the shared experience of A.A. members in the various areas. They also reflect guidance
given through the Twelve Traditions and the General Service Conference (U.S. and Canada). In keeping with our Tradition of
Autonomy, except in matters affecting other groups or A.A. as a whole, most decisions are made by the group conscience of
the members involved. The purpose of these Guidelines is to assist in reaching an informed group conscience.
