An AA Central Office Representative (COR) or Intergroup Representative (IGR) is a member elected by their local Alcoholics Anonymous group to serve as a vital link, connecting their group to the local Intergroup or Central Office, which coordinates services like meeting lists and helplines, by attending Central Office/Intergroup meetings to share group conscience, report on group needs, and help support the Intergroup’s overall function of carrying the AA message. They ensure communication flows between the grassroots level and the service entity, helping Central Offices/Intergroups effectively support all member groups.
