One Representative and one Alternate are elected for one-year terms by each member group. Their service commitment is one meeting per month for the duration of their term. The representatives communicate information and concerns between the DIA and the groups. The Intergroup Representatives elect Trustees for the DIA Board each November. There are 9 members of the Board of Trustees.
Trustees serve two-year terms.
Not more than 2 members of one group can serve at the same time. All Trustees serve on a standing committee or on the Executive Committee. The board is responsible for overseeing the Central Office and its employees. The Trustees meet each month at the Central Office just before the Intergroup meeting. Our Director and Assistant Director are accountable to the Board, whose Trustees are accountable to the Representatives, who are accountable to their respective home groups.
