2026 Spring GR (Group Representative) Orientation

Do you have questions like these?

  • What is a GR? What are a GR’s responsibilities? What about DRs?
  • What is an Assembly? Who is it for? How can I prepare? What about AWSC?
  • Who has a voice at Assembly? Who can vote at Assembly?
  • How is AWSC different?
  • How do I handle my group’s concerns?
  • What is a Group Conscience? How is it different from a Group Inventory?
  • How to start an Alateen group? Who can start one?
  • Who needs a Service Sponsor—and why?
  • How do I get information about the District, AIS-LDC, Area, and WSO? (And what do all those letters mean?)

Come to the Orientation to find answers to these questions—and many more!

Welcome to Tennessee Al-Anon and Alateen Family Groups

The Al-Anon Family Groups are a fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics who share their experience, strength and hope in order to solve their common problems. We believe alcoholism is a family illness and that changed attitudes can aid recovery.

What Is Al-Anon?

Al-Anon is not allied with any sect, denomination, political entity, organization, or institution: does not engage in any controversy: neither endorses nor opposes any cause. There are no dues for membership. Al-Anon is self-supporting through its own voluntary contributions.

Al-Anon has but one purpose: to help families of alcoholics. We do this by practicing the Twelve Steps, by welcoming and giving comfort to the families of alcoholics, and by giving understanding and encouragement to the alcoholic.
