What is BIC?
BIC is the
Bermuda Intergroup Committee, which is comprised of individuals representing
each of the Home Groups of the various meetings in Bermuda. Like all of AA, BIC’s primary purpose is to
carry the AA message to the alcoholic who still suffers.
What does BIC do? BIC exists to
aid the various Home Groups in achieving their common purpose and carry out
certain functions common to all groups. In
particular: - By providing an AA listing in
the Bermuda phone book those seeking help have a number that they can call with
inquiries.
- As needed, the BIC may publish
and distribute up-to-date lists of meetings and other information about AA
services in Bermuda.
- BIC orders AA literature for
distribution among the Home Groups and to alcoholics seeking information. Its premises houses the literature brought in
from abroad and is available for purchase by the Home Groups.
- BIC works in cooperation and
partnership with the Public Information Committee (PIC) to communicate with and provide information to the community
and supports the efforts of the PIC financially.
- BIC helps to disseminate
information, through its committee members, regarding events taking place in
the AA community.
- BIC liaises with the Bermuda
Convention Committee in connection with the annual Bermuda Convention held in
November of each year and the fundraising events leading up to the Convention.
- BIC provides a forum for
matters of interest to the AA community in Bermuda at large to be discussed.
