FOR NEW GROUP SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES
New GSRs: What do you do after you take the commitment? First things first, make sure you attend Area monthly. Area falls on the first Sunday of each month in Simi Valley. GSR training starts 1/2 hour prior to the Area start time. If you are an Alternate GSR, be sure to coordinate with your meeting’s current GSR for training specific to your meeting. If you are an alternative GSR, most likely you will attend a few Area Meetings with your GSR and then start to alternate between these monthly meetings according to your schedules.
What do I do? What do I say?
Your job as a GSR is to report back to your home group everything that is happening at your Area Meetings such as NA events, issues, service body needs, other meeting commitment needs, activities, and more. You are there to not only provide information to current members, but to excite and ATTRACT the newcomer. NA can be fun! Be excited to share the information, encourage others to attend events, be knowledgeable about what you share, and make sure your references are accurate.
