Background Context
The John H Scholarship of $4,375 was allocated to the Australia Intergroup Service Representative Meeting #7764/Glebe Meeting # for London WSC 22/23. Australian members fundraised for attendance to the next year WSC 23/24, and reapplied for John H. Scholarship (although the application was “sent to the back of the queue” said DA Treasurer Michalene). The funds raised for 23/24 Australian representation ultimately were donated to a Japanese national representing SoCal ‘Courage to Succeed’ Meeting in the form of a written agreement (BDA Tool #8) and paid WSC conference registration. This Asia Pacific (APAC) agreement between DA members and meetings ensured the funds stayed in our time zone region [Japan GMT +9 | Australia GMT +7 to +11], and Australians were assured the funds went directly to D.A. and not a random unknown person.
Members in Japan and Australia have greatly advanced the presence of D.A. recovery in the region as a result of the WSC22/23 John H allocation - thank you. Both the Australian ISR and Japanese national contribute on the current GloCom 24/25 under subcommittee #3 and meet monthly at a time that is outside of North American business hours. We thank all those who served/participated in the International Committee’s New Years Marathons for being the catalyst to reach our regions, regions who would have otherwise have remained lacking exposure and awareness of the organisation of D.A. and the democratic processes of the WSC. Specific thanks to Joan N. for sharing her ESH.
Global Intergroups and Regional Area Groups.
At the time of the 2024 registered meeting audit, there are 23 registered intergroups; 14 in North America, 4 in Europe, 2 in South America, 1 in Asia Pacific, 1 in Eurasia, and 1 intergroup supporting D.A. groups across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
In addition, D.A. has 3 registered Regional Area Groups (RAGs) supporting GSRs in Southern California, Northern California, and Greater New York. RAG's are like an intergroup for General Service Representatives (GSR).
