About D.A. NYC Intergroup
What is Intergroup?
The Intergroup is a gathering of D.A. members who represent D.A. groups throughout a geographic region.
The primary purpose of each Intergroup is to support the D.A. meetings within its regional area and to help direct newcomers to those meetings.
Intergroups can also provide opportunities for cooperation on fellowship projects that are beyond the capacity of any one group. Thus, Intergroups develop regional meeting lists, develop and maintain websites, and sponsor events which enable debtors to come together and share their recovery.
About Intergroup
D.A. NYC Intergroup serves all D.A. groups that meet in the greater New York area by coordinating the website, phone meeting list, special events, and D.A. conference approved publications.
Intergroup is supported by contributions from local groups (see the suggested Group Contribution Policy below) as well as from personal contributions from members.
