H&I and Corrections
The Hospitals and Institutions (H&I) Committee and the Corrections Committee have similar goals – carrying the AA message to alcoholics in therapeutic, medical and correctional facilities in Nassau County – but these two areas of our Twelfth Step work involve different challenges, so they operate as separate committees.
H&I
The Institutions Committee is responsible for helping local AAs carry our message of hope into local treatment, detox and related facilities. This includes coordinating speakers and AA literature for regular meetings, helping soon-to-be-released alcoholics get to their first meeting in Nassau County, and responding to Bridging the Gap requests for people returning to Nassau County.
The Institutions Committee meets at 7:30pm on the first Wednesday of every month at the Intergroup Office. The Corrections Committee meets immediately after on the same night, usually starting about 8pm.
Corrections
The Corrections Committee is responsible for helping local AAs carry our message of hope behind the walls of correctional facilities. This includes coordinating speakers and AA literature for “inside” meetings, helping soon-to-be-released alcoholics get to their first meeting in Nassau County, and connecting local AA members with GSO’s Corrections Correspondence Service.
The Corrections Committee meets on the first Wednesday of every month at the Intergroup Office immediately after the Institutions meeting, which begins at 7:30pm.
