What Is An Intergroup? Intergroups or Central
Offices are created to provide a variety of services which are not practical for
an individual OA group to provide. Some Intergroups serve the entire state, some
serve only one district ~ this Intergroup serves the Florida Treasure Coast and
Palm Beach County Our Intergroup, like OA as a whole, is structured as an inverted
pyramid. The group is served by an elected Intergroup Representative These Reps
collectively form a large bunch, each voicing their group’s conscience. The Reps
guide the elected Board Officers (Chairperson, Vice Chairperson, Treasurer, Secretary)
who have a more hands-on role in the operation of Intergroup. The Board oversees
several Standing Committees. From the top down, it’s the group conscience at each
level making decisions.
See our meeting list for a complete list of area's served:
Meeting List
What does Intergroup do? The Intergroup body
decides what will and will not be done concerning OA in the Palm Beach. This is
done at a monthly meeting of the Intergroup Representatives, where motions are voted
on and other business is discussed. What is an Intergroup Representative? An Intergroup
Representative is a person who is elected by their group, has at least 6 months of abstinence and is working an active program. Their responsibility will be to attend the monthly Intergroup meeting,
vote on issues at the meeting, give a detailed report to their group and take motions
back to their group that require group consensus. It is good practice to elect an
Alternate Representative as well. This person can fill in when the Intergroup Representative
is not available to attend the monthly meeting.
