Basic qualifications for this position are: A minimum of seven years of continuous sobriety with a working knowledge of the A.A. service structure and familiarity with The A.A. Service Manual; ability to work with others in a group conscience setting; experience serving on boards of directors (nonprofit experience is most helpful); knowledge of organizational strategic planning, problem-solving and implementation of change; experience with organizational management and finances; and familiarity and experience with publications media including new communication technologies and methodologies.
The time commitment required is significant and includes availability to attend four planning committee Meetings of the A.A.

In addition, directors attend the General Service Conference for one week in April and may be called upon to represent A.A. Grapevine at Regional Forums or other A.A. functions.
In seeking applications for all vacancies in A.A., the Fellowship is committed to creating a large applicant file of qualified persons, which reflects the inclusiveness and diversity of Alcoholics Anonymous. Résumés should be sent to Janet Bryan, office manager, A.A. Grapevine, by May 31, 2012.
