Alternate District Committee Member (Alt.DCM)

Qualifications:

  • The alternate district committee member has usually served as a G.S.R. and is elected by other G.S.R.s to take responsibility for district activities. If the person chosen is a current G.S.R., a new G.S.R. should be elected to fill his or her position.

  • A D.C.M. should have enough sobriety (generally four or five years) to be eligible for election as delegate.

  • He or she also needs to have the time and energy to serve the district well.

Purpose:

The Alternate DCM is a backup for the regular district committee member. If the latter resigns – or for any reason is unable to serve – the alternate steps in and should be kept up to speed by the DCM on all issues pertaining to our District. See, also, page 33 of the Service Manual.

Duties:

  1. Acts as the District Registrar by maintaining current records of the District Groups, group contacts (usually GSR and Alternate GSR) and working with the Area 41 Registrar (Alternate Delegate) to maintain currency with Area and GSO.

  2. Assist, participate, and share in the DCM’s responsibilities, attending district and area meetings where feasible, depending upon local needs.
