Dear District 25,
Coming to you from the D25 Handbook Update ad hoc committee chair. We will be discussing the D25 Handbook at the District 25 business meeting 9/19/26. The committee had some thoughts we would like to share before then, and they follow:
The Handbook’s scope is focused on District procedures, structure, responsibilities, etc.
Here are some discussion points:
Secretary maintains and updates the Handbook. Is this agreeable to the district?
Should the Registrar be a District 25 Committee Member or a Chair role?
Ask the district if we should include these resources for the GSR:
How to register to log into the Area 72 website
How to access the GSR Handbook on the Area 72 website
How to register as a new GSR with Area 72. This will register you with District 25 and GSO.
Do we want to add two aa.org pamphlets to the GSR section: The AA Group…where it all begins (P-16) and The G.S.R Pamphlet (P-19)?
Should we include the section “Who is eligible to stand for committee chair position”: Depending on the district, current GSRs may be eligible to serve in these positions. This GSR would still have one vote (as either GSR or chairperson). Some districts suggest that these additional positions go to past GSRs or experienced group members from within the district
Is the last line of the Third Legacy description applicable for D25: It has been a tradition and is preferred, but not a requirement, that the Third Legacy Chair be filled by the preceding District Committee Chair.
Is the Election Procedure in line with District 25 practices?
January 2023. Motion to add the District Expense Reimbursement policy and form to the D25 Handbook, mirroring Area 72 guidelines. ASK DISTRICT WHAT TO DO WITH THIS MOTION IN TRAVEL REIMBURSEMENT SECTION OF HANDBOOK
Motion March 2026: "District 25 have an inventory as, #1, required by our handbook and #2, by an impartial past delegate in the spring/early summer on a date other than our business meeting."
NOTE: December and spring/early summer are not the same. ASK DISTRICT WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS
Removed the section on Communications Chair (motion Sept2025)
Updated section on travel reimbursement as per Jan2023 motion. Still looking for the form for that, and don’t have a section on D25 website for District Expense Reimbursements.
Jan2023: Motion to add the District Expense Reimbursement policy and form to the D25 Handbook, mirroring Area 72 guidelines
Ask the district if they need to track elections. They are recorded in the minutes, so do we need to record them in the Handbook also?
Policy motions passed are from the D25 business meetings we could find. Many are still unaccounted for. Thank you to Eldin for the research. Here is what we have;
2021-2021: May and December
Missing: All of 2021 and Jan-April, June-Nov. 2022
2023-2024: Jan, Feb, March, May, June, July 2023 & Jan, March, April, Dec 2024
Mission: April, Aug-Dec 2023 & Feb, May-Nov 2024

Looking forward to the discussion.
In love and service,
