Re:        G.S.O. Staff Opening

Dear Friends,

Applications are now being sought for a G.S.O. staff member. G.S.O. staff are members of Alcoholics Anonymous who rotate through the various assignments such as Corrections, Public Information, C.P.C., Conference, International, etc.  They also correspond with A.A.s on all aspects of recovery and service. Additionally, they represent the General Service Office at A.A. functions throughout the U.S. and Canada and provide the primary staff support for the General Service Board and the annual General Service Conference.

Desirable qualifications include excellent communication, organizational and computer skills, as well as the ability to work independently and as a team member. Fluency in French or Spanish is desirable. A.A. service experience will also be taken into consideration in addition to a willingness to relocate to New York City, if necessary. A minimum of six years sobriety is required. This opening will be available January 2017.

Attached is an “Application for Employment – A.A. Staff” that we hope you will share with members who are interested in serving on our staff and meet the basic requirements outlined above.
