Alcoholics Anonymous Area 70 Vermont exists as a link between AA members, groups, and Districts in Vermont, and AA as a whole.  This website provides information on local meetings and events.  There are links available to contact Area 70 Officers and Committee Chairs.  To find more comprehensive information on the AA organization and literature, please visit the AA.org website.

Alcoholics Anonymous Area 70 covers the entire state of Vermont.  The Area is comprised of 11 Districts within the state.  The Area Committee is comprised of its officers: Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, Finance, Delegate, and Alternate Delegate; the 11 District Committee Members; and Committees that more or less mirror the Conference Structure: Archives, Convention, Literature and Grapevine, Meeting List, Public Information and Cooperation with the Professional Community (PI/CPC), Registrar, Treatment and Accessibility, and the Website.

There are no Intergroups or Central Service Offices in Vermont and the Area 70 Committee performs some functions often done by those service organizations.

Area 70 contracts with an answering service to serve as a hotline, and all Districts are welcome to use this number.  Some districts maintain their own hotline number.  Some are handled by answering services that relay information to volunteers.  Others may have calls go directly to volunteers.

In order to assist Districts and groups with literature needs, the Area maintains a small stock of basic books and works to coordinate District orders in order to get better order and shipping prices.

The Area holds 7 monthly Area Committee Meetings (ACM) online and 4 Full Area Assemblies (FAA) that rotate through the Districts.  The Pre-Conference Sharing Session may be held in conjunction with a Full Area Assembly in March, or it may be a separate gathering.  All interested AAs are welcome to attend.

An annual Vermont AA Convention is held in April.

Please check the Event Calendar for more information on when and where service meetings, including District Business Meetings, are scheduled.  The calendar also posts Group, District and Area-sponsored AA special events, and regional and national service events.
