The definition of Accessibilities community is where it is difficult to carry the AA message because of language, culture, geography, or life condition. The central mission of this committee is to go to any lengths necessary to carry AA’s message to all those who need it and is just one more link in the chain of responsibility in our effort to help the alcoholic to who still suffers.
