Hospital & Institution Group Representatives

H&I Group Representatives connect the H&I Committee with individual A.A. groups in San Francisco. With 604 weekly meetings in the city, we need your help spreading the word.

We recommend that each group elect an H&I Rep for a two-year term. One year of sobriety is suggested, and no prior H&I experience is needed.

Reps attend the H&I Business Meeting at 10:00 a.m. on the third Saturday of odd-numbered months at the Mission Fellowship, 2900 24th St. (at Florida St.), San Francisco. See the Events page for dates.
