Deadline Extended: GaL-AA Seeking Candidates for 2021 Elections

It’s that time of the year again—time for the GaL-AA spirit of rotation to inspire and excite your willingness to serve the LGBTQ+ AA community!

There are a few things we think you should know about service positions with GaL-AA. First, anyone can run for an executive committee position no matter where in the world you live. Second, we hold monthly business meetings electronically via Zoom. Third, as per the GaL-AA by-laws, the executive committee shall have at least one in-person, face-to-face meeting per year. It is the responsibility of each executive member to pay for any travel and other related expenses to and from the face-to-face meeting. If you need more information please contact a member of the committee.
