This is more than an annual report—it’s a story of connection. In our first-ever Annual Report, we celebrate the service, unity, and recovery that continue to strengthen NorCal CMA and bring hope to our community every day.

As an additional resource for our individual meetings, groups and members, we have created a 1-page flyer that trusted servants can print and distribute to their meetings. The flyer contains a QR-Code that folks can scan with their phones that will direct them to the online feedback form.
Unlike in traditional hierarchical organizations, CMA and other Twelve Step fellowships are an inverted pyramid with the groups and meetings—and the individual addicts who make up those groups—at the top. CMA relies on its service structure to keep our community connected and growing, while ensuring that we fulfill our primary purpose: to carry the message to the addict who still suffers.
This is the level that most of us are familiar with. The meetings that we all attend are the most important part of the service structure. Every other level of service exists in order to help these Groups or Meetings stay connected and grow. Currently there are 48 meetings within Northern California CMA.
The Group also has the voice with the most impact in CMA. The voice of the Group is determined by its group conscience and communicated by its General Service Representative (GSR). It is transmitted through the GSR to the next level of service, the District.
GSRs and other members gather at our monthly Intergroup meetings which are held in a hybrid fashion.
(More information below.)
This organization, NorCal CMA, is a collection of individual meetings that each send a GSR to form our intergroup. We represent the 48 counties north of the northern county lines of San Luis Obispo, Kern, and San Bernardino Counties in California.
The District's first function is to be part of the communication chain that connects each group with the next level of service down the line. NorCalCMA meets regularly to transmit the groups’ voice down the service structure and to bring back any business or news from the California Area Assembly or the CMA General Services Office (or GSO).
Our District Committee Member (DCM) is NorCal CMA's link to the California Area Assembly. Email DCM@norcalcma.org for more information.
The Area is the next level of service within CMA. Each Area corresponds to a single state or province within North America. Our Area, the California Area Assembly includes three districts:
NorCal CMA (that's us)
Each District sends a representative called a District Committee Member (DCM) to the Area Assembly. Others that gather for these statewide Area Assemblies are individual GSR’s, other meeting officers, the Area delegate to the General Service Conference, the Regional Trustee or even individual members of the fellowship. In this way, information is passed from the local districts on to CMA General Services and vice-versa.
This is the annual assembly of the service body for Crystal Meth Anonymous. Because it is made up of Area Delegates as well as the Board of Trustees and the General Service Committee, it is considered the voice of the fellowship.
This is where the General Service Committee and the Board of Trustees get their direction from the fellowship at large.
