What is Area 29?

Area 29 is composed of the entire state of Maryland, less the counties of Prince Georges and Montgomery, which are in Area 13. It is divided into 47 districts, each represented by a District Committee Member (DCM).

Each District Committee is composed of the General Service Representatives (GSR) who represent their A.A. group in that District as well as the District Committee Member and other officers as elected by the District.

The Officers of Area 29, Committee Chairpersons, and DCMs make up the Area Committee, which meets 4 times yearly. The Area Committee and all GSRs make up the Area Assembly, which meets 5 times yearly.

All A.A. members are invited to attend any District Meeting, Area Committee, or Area Assembly.

Area 29 is represented at the annual General Service Conference, usually in New York City, by their Delegate, who is elected biannually, in odd years, for a term of two years beginning in the subsequent even year.

Special Needs Presentation

At the August Area Assembly, the Special Needs Committee presented a workshop and presentation discussing what is Special Needs and what do A.A. members and groups need to know about giving those members with accessibility issues the same opportunities as all other A.A. members. Their presentation is provided here as well as questionnaires for A.A. groups to use in assessing their compliance with Special Needs and allowing individuals to sign up as a Special Needs volunteer for the group.
