Two Types of Districts
A district is part of an area, one of the 93 areas that make up the U.S./Canada General Service Conference. Below are the two types of districts in General Service.
Geographic District
This is the most common type of district. The number of groups in a district is usually determined by how many groups a district committee member, or DCM, can reasonably be expected to keep in touch with, learn their problems, and find ways to contribute to their growth. District boundaries may be redrawn should the number of groups increase or decrease significantly.
Linguistic District
To encourage participation of the maximum number of groups, some areas have incorporated linguistic districts within their structure. These districts are made up of groups that conduct meetings in languages including French, Spanish, Polish, Vietnamese and American Sign Language. They usually have a bilingual DCM or liaison. Their boundaries may be independent of the conventional geographic district boundaries.
Members of a District
- Current GSRs from groups within a district
- The DCM elected by the district’s GSRs
- The alternate DCM elected by the district’s GSRs
- District treasurer
- District secretary
- Committee chairs
Some districts form standing or ad hoc committees to address specific tasks. Depending on the district and the type of committee, the committee chairs may be elected by the district or be appointed by the DCM. Group conscience determines who may or may not be able to vote.
