Note: This is a simplified guide. Some responsibilities of each committee may cross over to the other, sometimes they are combined. Just remember to KEEP IT SIMPLE.

I AM RESPONSIBLE
WHEN ANYONE, ANYWHERE, REACHES OUT FOR HELP,
I WANT THE HAND OF AA ALWAYS TO BE THERE,
AND FOR THAT, I AM RESPONSIBLE
