Registrar FAQ

I am starting a new group. What do I need to do?

• Fill out the Group/District Change form (select "New Group").

• Check out some resources:
  • Pamphlet: The A.A. Group...Where It All Begins (aa.org)
    • English
    • Español
  • Group Handbook (aa.org)
    • English

I want to restart a Group that closed. What do I do?

• Reach out to your DCM (preferably) or the Registrar. They can help you identify the Inactive Group you are wanting to restart. After that, navigate to the Group/District Change form and fill out the information.

I am lost. What does any of this mean?

• Feel free to contact the Registrar (contact form below). They will be glad to help answer any questions.
• Reaching out to your DCM is suggested as well (the registrar can provide contact information for your DCM if you do not know who it is).
• Identify your District here: area41.org/districts

I cannot make this work/I do not know what to do/computers hate me and I hate them.

• Email (or call) the Registrar. We are here to help!
• Technical problems with the website should be reported directly to the webmaster.

What is my Group ID?

• Best practices suggest reaching out to your DCM first and asking them.
• That being said, the Registrar is here to help. Just message (below) and ask!

I need to make a change to the Area 41 Meeting List and Meeting Guide App*. Who do I talk to?

• If ONLY days/times have changed, please use "Request a change to this listing" from your specific meeting in the Area 41 Meeting List.
• If more than days/times have changed, please use the Group/District Change form (and check the box to also Update Meeting List Automatically).

• *The Area 41 Technology and Communications committee, with the Area 41 Webmaster, maintain a Meeting List on area41.org. This list populates meetings found in the Meeting Guide App.

Where does my information go once I enter it?

• It is forwarded to the Registrar. The Registrar enters it into Fellowship Connection (a database) where it is stored.
• area41.org website Administrators may also see form activity.
• If you check the box to Update Meeting List Automatically (applies to Group forms only), a copy of the form will also be sent to the web servant(s) who updates the Area 41 Meeting List.
• DCM information will be shared with Area 41 web servant(s) to administer email and document storage account.
• When a Meeting Listing is updated, the Intergroups within Area 41 may receive a copy of the information specific to the Meeting List details only (not your additional contact information from a New Group or Group Change).

Who has access to my information once it is entered into Fellowship Connection?

• Member Services (some members of GSO), the Registrar, DCMs and the Delegate.

Why bother?

• Accurate and up-to-date information allows you and your group to participate fully in AA, access information and services, ensures your group can be found by others, and helps your voice (Group Conscience) be heard.
