SMF-208 Accessibilities Checklist for Meetings and Groups

What is the role of an Accessibilities Committee Liaison?

“The accessibilities representative may coordinate any needed assistance to those alcoholics who face additional personal barriers to accessing the A.A. message within their home group. Many accessibilities representatives find it beneficial to communicate with their intergroup (central office) when trying to reach those facing such challenges. Some areas or districts have accessibilities committees, as well.”

“Accessibility issues apply to all alcoholics who have difficulties participating in Alcoholics Anonymous, whether those difficulties are mental, physical, geographic, cultural, ethnic, spiritual or emotional.”
