District Service Committee
District Committee Member (DCM)
District Committee Member (DCM) The DCM’s job is primarily that of two-way communication. The DCM gets reports from the group level through GSRs and through frequent personal contacts with the groups of the District. The DCM helps the Conference Delegate cover an area that the Delegate could not otherwise cover (on a group-by-group basis). For more information, see page 22 of the Service Manual and the pamphlet Your D.C.M.
Alternate District Committee Member (Alt. DCM)
The Alternate DCM is a backup for the regular district committee member. If the latter resigns – or for any reason is unable to serve – the alternate steps in and should be kept up to speed by the DCM on all issues pertaining to the District. See page 16 of the Service Manual.
