Eastside Intergroup Structure

Eastside Intergroup is a 501c3 non-profit entity registered with the IRS and the State. ESIG is governed by a board of directors who oversee the operational and financial well being of the corporation. There are eight members on the Board of Directors; seven are elected members, each with a term of three years. The office manager serves on the board as a non-voting member. We hold our elections in October at the Intergroup Representative meeting. Two elected Board members rotate out in January, and two new Board members are elected to replace them. If you are interested in serving on the board. If you have an interest in serving on the board, please fill a nomination form out and submit it to the board at board@eastsideaa.org

East King County Intergroup Association of Alcoholics Anonymous (ESIG) maintains a website to fulfill its responsibilities under the Corporate Bylaws and the general AA Responsibility pledge. ESIG’s service area stretches from Mercer Island into the Cascades and from Newcastle to Mill Creek. The website serves four primary functions to people in its service area:

1. To provide a primary information resource about the program of Alcoholics Anonymous for anyone who wishes to quit drinking.
2. To provide information regarding AA meetings in its service area. To register your meeting click here for registration form
3. To provide information regarding AA events in its service area.
4. To provide links to individuals for information on Groups and Districts in its service area, as well as links to Area 72 and to the GSO in New York.

The Intergroup structure is governed by a set of bylaws that were approved in 1998. They are revised, from time to time, through a formal procedure. Current bylaws are available upon request at the Intergroup office. They are also posted on the website. Link to Bylaws

Our finances

The office and is supported by contributions from AA groups and individuals, donations from occasional AA events, and literature and medallion sales. Many years ago our co‐founder Bill W. warned the membership about the accumulation of money reserves “for no stated AA purpose”, and Eastside Intergroup adheres to that principle as a non‐profit entity.
