Intergroup

The Orange County Intergroup of SAA (OCISAA) manages the business of SAA in the Orange County Area. OCISAA has four primary areas of responsibility:

  1. To help SAA groups carry the SAA message to the addict who still suffers.
  2. To provide shared services and resources to individual members and local SAA groups, e.g., website, telephone line, and meeting lists.
  3. To allow for the effective use of OCISAA funds.
  4. To help disseminate information within the local SAA organization and to coordinate outreach and public information for SAA in the Orange County Area.

There are currently many meetings within the geographic area served by OCISAA. Each group may elect its own Intergroup representative. These members provide input to Intergroup on the matters listed above and relay relevant information back to the groups they represent.

Monthly OCISAA Meetings

OCISAA business meetings are held monthly on the second Wednesday of every month at 6:30pm. Zoom information for the meeting may be found on the Meetings tab. Meeting minutes can be found here.

Any SAA member interested in the business of SAA may attend this meeting. If a matter is put to the group for a vote, these visitors may participate in the discussions, but will not be allowed to participate in the voting process.

Committees

OCISAA members participate in committees, where much of the work of Intergroup is done. Such committees include:

  • Outreach — Activities include: Getting our basic text, Sex Addicts Anonymous, into area libraries. We have a Google Ad campaign that also carries the message to addicts looking for help, and those interested in information regarding sex addiction. We also communicate with health care professionals in Orange County; provide speakers to educate others about our work, organize in-person retreats, and more.
  • Website — Maintaining and updating the OCISAA website as a repository of information of interest to the local community, and the addict who still suffers.
  • Telephone — Maintaining a hotline to get information about our program.
  • Finance — Accounting for fellowship funds.
  • Meeting List — Maintaining up-to-date in-person, and remote meeting lists.

Anyone may participate in these committees.
