Area Service

NA groups carry the message of recovery to the addict who still suffers by supporting meetings where addicts can share their recovery with one another. To stay focused on this primary purpose, groups create boards or committees to provide services to the groups and the community.

The Trumbull Area Service Committee of NA (TASCNA) serves our local groups in vital ways:

• Publishes area meeting schedules

• Provides a forum for group trusted servants

• Hosts social activities to foster unity in our area

• Supports a regional phoneline

• Leads panel presentations at treatment centers and correctional facilities

• Shares information about NA with community organizations and professionals

 

Monthly ASC Meeting: TASCNA meets on the first Sunday of every month at 10am, at the Niles Scope Center located at 14 E State St in Niles, Ohio.

The Area Service Committee is composed of group service representatives (GSRs), administrative officers (chairperson, vice chairperson, secretary, treasurer), subcommittee chairpersons, and the area’s regional committee members (RCMs), but is open to any member of NA interested in being of service.

Get Involved: Be of Service

Being of service in NA comes in many forms and can be undertaken by anyone. Many have found that service is an integral part of personal recovery in NA and an important way to demonstrate their gratitude for all that recovery through NA has given them.

Our Area Service Committee offers many opportunities to be of service, starting with Group Service Representatives (GSRs), which form the foundation of our service structure. A GSR is an NA member that is elected by a home group to represent that group at the ASC meeting. GSRs actively participate in discussions and carry their group's conscience on decisions made by the ASC. They also take active roles in joining ASC subcommittees.

GSR Basics - Describes what a Group Service Representative does, who can be one, and why you might want to.

​

The Area Service Committee and subcommittees are accountable to the groups of our area. We welcome all members of NA at our monthly ASC meeting, and members are encouraged to get involved as trusted servants of ASC or by serving on TASCNA subcommittees.

• TASCNA meets on the first Sunday of every month at 10am, at the Niles Scope Center located at 14 E State St in Niles, Ohio.

• Hospitals & Institutions (H&I): Carries NA meetings into institutions such as treatment centers, jails, prisons and hospitals.

• Public Relations (PR): Informs the public and professionals that NA exists in the community and is a viable resource of recovery from the disease of addiction. PR represents NA at community events and maintains this website.

• Activities: Plans and hosts social gatherings, workshops and recovery events to foster unity within the area.

• Literature: Maintains an inventory to supply local groups with NA literature, key tags, and medallions.

 

We encourage you to choose a home group and become involved immediately. Many of us have found that our home group is the beginning of our path of service to NA. Being involved in NA service helps us to really feel like a part of something greater than ourselves.

Unity is the main principle of our First Tradition, and we welcome you to experience that unity through service to Narcotics Anonymous.
