Structures and Guidelines
District 14 Structures and Guidelines are available here. District committees serve the local A.A. community by carrying the message into treatment centers, correctional facilities, and to recovering alcoholics with special accessibility needs. Other committees ensure cooperation with the professional community (especially the judicial system and medical communities), distribute A.A. literature, promote The Grapevine (A.A.'s "meeting in print") and maintain an archive of local A.A. history.
