What is Area 03 of Alcoholics Anonymous?
Area 03 is the Alcoholics Anonymous service body that covers Arizona. On Area 03 it describes itself as the Arizona Area Committee, and its site is built for two overlapping audiences: anyone in Arizona looking for help with a drinking problem or a local meeting, and AA members doing service work in the state.
What the site is for
- Finding help and meetings. A "Need Help Now?" section points visitors to telephone hotlines and explains what AA is and is not. A separate "AA Meetings" page lists Arizona meetings, with keywords covering Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe, Gilbert and Flagstaff.
- Service structure. The "Area 03 Business" section covers assemblies, district information, area committees, delegate reports, PRAASA reports, newsletters, handbooks and forms — the working documents for DCMCs, DCMs and GSRs.
- Events. A calendar covers area services, intergroup events, round-ups and home group or special events, such as a corrections conference, a Pacific Regional Forum and a PI/CPC conference.
- Committees. Listings include Archivist, CPC, Corrections, Grapevine/La Viña, Literature, Public Information, Remote Communities, Spanish, Treatment and Website.
- Contributions. Group contributions are handled by mail to the Arizona Area Committee, and the site also offers an online contribution option.
A practical example
Suppose you are new to AA in Tucson and want a meeting tonight. The meeting list is the direct route. If instead you are a newly elected GSR who needs the current handbook, forms and assembly dates before your district meeting, the business section is where you would start — and the delegate's corner is worth checking if you want to know what is being discussed at the national level.
How to use it
Start with the meeting list if your need is personal, or with the business and documents sections if your need is service-related. The event calendar is the bridge between the two, since it lists gatherings open to members around Arizona.
How can I find an AA meeting in Arizona?
The most direct route is the Area 03 website's "Find AA Meetings" section, which links to Arizona meeting schedules by district and city. Area 03 is the Alcoholics Anonymous service body covering Arizona, so its meeting listings reflect registered groups across the state rather than a single club's schedule.
Area 03 Committee of Alcoholics Anonymous
H3 What you'll find there
- A meetings directory covering Arizona areas including Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe, Gilbert and Flagstaff.
- A "Need Help Now?" section with telephone hotlines for speaking to a recovering alcoholic in your local area.
- An events calendar for round-ups, intergroup events and service assemblies, which is separate from regular meetings but useful if you want a larger gathering.
H3 Practical next steps
- Start with the meetings page and narrow by city or district. If you are near a metro area, expect several options per day; rural areas may have fewer meetings and longer drives.
- Check the meeting format before you go — open vs. closed, speaker vs. discussion, and language. The site also lists Spanish-language and remote communities information, which helps if English isn't your first language or you live far from a group.
- If the listing is unclear or you want to confirm a meeting still exists, call the local hotline listed under "Need Help Now?" Hotlines are usually the fastest way to get current information, since schedules change.
H3 If you'd rather not search alone Intergroup offices in larger Arizona cities maintain their own meeting lists and phone lines, and they often have the most up-to-date local details. For a broader directory, the General Service Office of AA publishes meeting-finding tools as well.
One caveat: meeting schedules shift, especially around holidays and venue changes. Confirm before traveling far, and if a meeting turns out to be closed to newcomers in a way that doesn't fit you, ask the hotline for an alternative — they do this constantly.
How do I make a group contribution to Arizona Area 03?
Mail group contributions to the Arizona Area Committee at 3661 N. Campbell Ave #605, Tucson, AZ 85719, with checks payable to "Arizona Area Committee." The site notes this address is new for 2026–2027, so update any records you keep for your group. Online contribution is also mentioned on the same page under "Contribute Online."
For a group treasurer, the practical steps are:
- Collect the group's contribution and record it in your group accounts.
- Make the check payable exactly as stated, since the payee name matters for deposit.
- Send it to the Tucson address above, and note the new address in your records.
- If your group prefers, use the online contribution option listed on the site.
A useful next step is to confirm the current address and online option directly on the site before sending, especially if your group has an old address on file or a standing mailing routine. The page also lists group contributions alongside service resources for DCMs, DCMCs and GSRs, so your group's GSR or treasurer is usually the right person to handle this and to keep the group informed.

What service positions and committees exist in Area 03?
Area 03's site organizes its service structure into a few clear buckets: area-wide assemblies and business, district-level service, and standing committees. The page evidence lists these directly in its navigation: Business Assemblies (Pre-Conference, Post-Conference, August, November), Delegate's Corner, Districts, Committees, and specific committee pages for Archivist's Corner, CPC (Cooperation with the Professional Community), Corrections, Grapevine/La Vina, Literature, Public Information, Remote Communities, Spanish, Treatment, and Website Committee. It also provides group panel assignments for 2026–2027, reports, forms, handbooks, and newsletters.
For someone deciding where to plug in, the practical split is:
- General service roles — DCMC, DCM, and GSR are named as the audience for the business section. These are the people who carry group conscience between the home group and the area.
- Standing committees — each named committee handles a specific kind of outreach or internal work (for example, Corrections takes meetings into correctional facilities; CPC works with professionals; PI handles public information; Treatment focuses on treatment settings; Remote Communities serves members who can't easily reach a meeting).
- Administrative and archival — Archivist's Corner, Website Committee, Literature, and Grapevine/La Vina support the area's records, communications, and literature distribution.
A concrete next step: if you're new to service, start with your home group's GSR role or a district meeting, then look at the committee pages that match your interests. If you already know you want a specific kind of service, go straight to that committee's page through the site's navigation. For meeting times and locations, use the AA Meetings section; for broader Arizona events, the Events Calendar covers intergroups, round-ups, and special events.

What AA events and conferences are coming up in Arizona?
The site lists several Arizona AA events, but its calendar is spread across announcements and a dedicated Events Calendar page rather than one tidy list. From the page evidence, these are the upcoming items:
- 2026 Corrections Conference — October 2–3, 2026, in Mesa, AZ. Flyers are available in English and Spanish, and there is an email contact for the host committee.
- 2026 PI / CPC Conference — Saturday, November 21, 2026, in Tempe, AZ. An English flyer is listed.
- 2026 Pacific Regional Forum — December 4–6, 2026, in San Diego, CA. This is a regional rather than strictly Arizona event, but it appears on the Area 03 calendar. English flyer available.
- November Assembly online registration — opens October 1.
For a fuller picture, the Events Calendar section is described as covering Area services, Intergroup events, round-ups, and home group or special events around Arizona. That is the best place to check for additions, since the items above are only what the page currently highlights.
If you are planning around one of these, start with the Events Calendar and then open the specific flyer for the event you care about, since details such as location and registration tend to live there rather than in the summary listing. If you are new to AA or looking for help rather than an event, the site's "Need Help Now?" section points to local telephone hotlines instead.

How can I get help with a drinking problem through Area 03?
The Area 03 site is built for Arizona AA members and service volunteers, but it keeps a clear front door for anyone worried about their drinking. The fastest route is the "Need Help Now?" section on the home page, which points you to Telephone Hotlines where you can talk to a recovering alcoholic in your local area, plus plain-language information about what Alcoholics Anonymous is and is not and how it works. You do not need to be a member, be "ready," or fill in any form to make that call.
If you want to act now
- Use the "Need Help Now?" link on the home page to find a hotline number for your part of Arizona.
- Call and just say you are wondering about your drinking. No script is required.
- Ask the person you reach about meetings near you, what to expect at a first meeting, and whether someone can meet you beforehand.
If you would rather look first
The "Find AA Meetings" path leads to Arizona meeting information, including areas such as Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe, Gilbert and Flagstaff. You can read about the fellowship before committing to anything, which suits people who prefer to size things up quietly first.
A practical way to decide
| Your situation | Sensible first step |
|---|---|
| Drinking is affecting your health, work or family now | Call a hotline today, then try a meeting this week |
| Sober curious, not sure you belong | Read the "what AA is and is not" material, then visit one open meeting |
| Supporting a friend or relative | Use the hotline to ask how to help without pushing |
| Already in AA, want local service | Move on to the Area 03 Business and Events sections |
What to expect from the site itself
Area 03 is an official service body for Arizona, so its tone is informational rather than clinical; it is not a treatment provider or a crisis line in the medical sense. For immediate danger to yourself or someone else, emergency services are the right call, not a website. The rest of the site — assemblies, committee pages, newsletters, forms, event calendar — is aimed at members in service (DCMs, GSRs and similar roles) and is not needed to get help.
For broader context beyond Arizona, the national fellowship site is Alcoholics Anonymous. A next step: open the "Need Help Now?" page, save one hotline number in your phone, and pick a single meeting you could attend within the next seven days.
