The DCM

The district committee member (DCM) is an essential link between the group GSR and the area delegate to the General Service Conference. As leader of the district committee, made up of all GSRs in the district, the DCM is exposed to the group conscience of that district. As a member of the area committee, he or she is able to pass on the district’s thinking to the delegate and the committee.

(The pamphlet “Your DCM,” available from the General Service Office, provides basic information on this service job.)

The term of office for the DCM is two years, coinciding with all the other general service positions in the area. The DCM election should occur after GSRs are elected and before the area delegate is elected.

The Alternate DCM

The alternate is a backup for the DCM, elected by the same procedures and encouraged to share in the responsibilities of the DCM, being available to visit and talk to groups about service work.
