The meeting moved from Charlie Welches home in 1945
Fourteen (14) Area Officers are chosen, every second year, to serve 2-year terms on the Area Service Committee (ASC) . Seven of these are elected, in even numbered years, at the September Assembly of the full Area 79 Committee. Seven are appointed by the Selection Committee, following the elections, to sit as chairs of designated Area standing committees.
It is strongly suggested that the outgoing (not the incoming) GSRs and DCMs be available to vote at the Election Assembly in order to assure a more informed election.
To apply for an appointed position in Area 79, please email your resume to resumes@bcyukonaa.org
The purpose of teleconference meetings is to carry the AA message by phone to our members who are ill, disabled or living in areas where AA meetings are limited or non-existent due to their remote locations. Teleconference Meetings chaired by individual districts in Area 79 may be listed below. Districts wishing to list a teleconference meeting here, should contact Remote Communities Chair
