Pick up some service with area mentorship

Dear Members,

What Area Mentorship Is All About
Area Mentorship exists to strengthen the voice of SAA members and ensure our fellowship continues fulfilling its primary purpose: helping the still‑suffering sex addict. Areas were created so every meeting across more than 90 regions, has a way to participate in SAA’s democratic process through the annual Conference, where Delegates vote on matters affecting the fellowship as a whole.

Since the Area structure began in 2020, seasoned members have stepped up as mentors to help new Areas get established. Most Areas include 20–30 meetings within a geographic region (with some special‑focus exceptions). Mentors guide these meetings in forming an Area Assembly made up of GSRs (Group Service Representatives), ultimately helping each Area elect a Delegate who can carry their voice to the Conference.

Why You Matter!
If you’ve completed the 12 Steps, Area Mentorship is a powerful way to give back. You can support your own Area or help one of the many other areas still working to form their Area Assembly. You won’t be doing it alone the Area Development Committee provides training, tools, and monthly support meetings to help you grow into the role.

Ready to Explore This Path?
If you feel called to serve or simply want to learn more, reach out to info@saa-recovery.org and mention your interest in Area Development and Area Mentorship.

Stepping into this service is more than administrative work. It’s a chance to strengthen the fellowship, empower newcomers, and carry the message in a way that ripples far beyond a single meeting.

You’ve already done the hard work of recovery. This is a way to turn that growth into service that truly matters.

Pardon the dust - We're upgrading!

We’re excited to share that we’re in the process of upgrading our website! Over the next few months, we’ll be making improvements and adding new features to better serve our fellowship.

We encourage you to visit the site periodically and invite your groups to do the same. Please share any feedback or suggestions by emailing intergroup@northbaysaa.org.

The designer working with us also created the Orange County Intergroup website — it’s a great example of what’s possible: ocisaa.org.

Thank you for your continued service and support!

In Service and Recovery,
Dave H.
Intergroup GSR

Inmate Support Request

Greetings Friends In Recovery!

A member of our fellowship has reached out to the Northbay Intergroup to see how we can help an inmate currently incarcerated in Southern California. The inmate plans to relocate to the Santa Rosa area when he is released in early 2021. In the meantime he seeks correspondence with a potential sponsor in our area so that he can begin working his steps and gain some contact with our local fellowship.

If you are willing to sponsor by mail, have 1 or more year(s) of sobriety and have worked the 12 steps with a sponsor, please respond to this email or send an email to info@northbaysaa.org so that we can give you instructions on how to get in touch with this fellow.

If you are not available to sponsor this person but would like to make yourself available to correspond with inmates in the pursuit of service we encourage you to visit the Prison Writers section of the ISO website by clicking here.
