What is the RVA ACA Intergroup?
The ACA Intergroup exists to support the member groups of the Richmond VA area by carrying the message of recovery to adult children from alcoholic and dysfunctional families, using our combined resources.
It is important to note that Intergroup is NOT a governing organization that oversees area groups. As Tradition 4 states, “each group is autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or ACA as a whole.”
Who is Intergroup?
Intergroup is made up of area ACA volunteers. Any ACA member may attend the monthly Intergroup meetings either in person or via conference call. However, only official Intergroup representatives may vote on issues at the meeting. Every member group may elect one Intergroup representative to represent their group. Note: each representative may only have one vote and thus can only represent one group.
What does Integroup do?
- Assists people in locating ACA meetings by providing/maintaining a list of local meetings
- Provides assistance in starting new meetings
- Provides conference-approved literature
and materials to ACA groups - Organizes recovery-related events
- Coordinates between affiliated ACA groups and the ACA World Service Organization (WSO)
- Raises awareness of ACA in the local community; for example, by reaching out to professionals and institutions serving adult children
- Answers questions and provides support to ACA members and member groups upon request
- Provides such other services and functions as authorized by the Richmond Intergroup at regular business meetings
