Intergroup Procedures
Our Al-Anon Information Service / Intergroup is a local service established and maintained by several Districts (57, 60, 63, and 66) in the Orange County and Greater Long Beach Area. See the current Al-Anon/Alateen Service Manual for the specific functions performed by Intergroup.
If you are registering as a NEW Information Service Representative (ISR), or Alternate ISR, you MUST register no less than 7 days prior to the upcoming Intergroup Meeting in order to have a voice and vote.

Register/Group Change Forms
Whenever there is a rotation of leadership within a group, for making group changes, or for registering a new group, the group (usually through the Group Representative, Current Mailing Address, ISR, or Group Secretary) must inform Southern California World Service (SCWS). Do that by clicking on the button below to complete the Al-Anon Group Change/New Group Registration form, which includes Group Service Position and Phone Contact changes. This will inform the Area Group Records Coordinator (AGRC) for SCWS to update the World Service Office (WSO) Al-Anon meeting database, as appropriate.
PLEASE NOTE: The Information Service Representative (ISR)/Alternate ISR information is NOT maintained by the WSO or SCWS. The Orange County and Greater Long Beach Al-Anon Information Service (OC and Greater LB AIS) will be informed of these service position changes and will update and maintain this information for Intergroup. The Group Secretary information is also only maintained by the AIS office.
Group Contributions
The Orange County and Greater Long Beach Area Al-Anon Information Service Office is supported solely by contributions made by Al-Anon groups within the service area. Use the Orange County Al-Anon Group Contribution Form to submit a group contribution to the office by mail. Members & groups may also use the Member Contributions button on the homepage to make an online contribution to the OC and Greater LB AIS.
Note: Please provide the District # and WSO ID # with your contribution to get group credit (the 4 digit OC AIS # is no longer being used).
Intergroup Minutes
Draft minutes from the most recent AIS/Intergroup and Service Board meetings are published as an attachment to the Calendar of Events meeting where they will be reviewed and approved (i.e., the following Intergroup / Service Board meeting).
