Welcome to the A.A. General Service website for Southern Minnesota Area 36, also known as the Southern Minnesota Area Assembly (SMAA). The primary purpose of this website is to facilitate communication within Area 36 and between Area 36 and A.A. members.
General Service Conference Materials
Every spring Alcoholics Anonymous holds a General Service Conference where discussions take place and decisions are voted on by area delegates, General Service Board trustees, and General Service Office staff. To help members of Alcoholics Anonymous come to an informed group conscience before the conference, the General Service Office prepares a list of agenda items along with background material for each item.
You can find the General Service Conference agenda items and background material at the link below. Note that the PDF files are password-protected. If you need to know the password, please reach out to your District Committee Member (DCM). Please do not share these materials with people outside of Alcoholics Anonymous.
