Area 30, the General Service Area for eastern MA1, is divided into 27 districts. Each district (or combined district) elects a District Committee Member (DCM) to represent local AA groups at formal Area 30 meetings (aka area assemblies). An AA group may elect a General Service Representative (GSR) to represent the group. In eastern MA (as elsewhere) districts and groups are represented at Area 30 meetings by DCMs and GSRs, and each area elects a Area Delegate to represent it at the annual General Service Conference, where matters affecting A.A. as a whole in North America are dealt with. The interactive map below is based on an Area 30 Handbook map.
