About District 9
The purpose of District 9 is to engage in General Service activities within the Conference structure guided by the Twelve Traditions of AA, the AA Service Manual, and the Twelve Concepts for World Service. Service activities are anything that helps to reach a fellow alcoholic, ensures our own recovery, and safeguards the integrity of our Fellowship.
There is no authority except that expressed by the group conscience and communicated to the General Service Representative (GSR) whom the group has elected. The GSRs, in turn, communicate to the Area Conference by vote at the Area Quarterly Assemblies or through the District Committee Member (DCM). District 9 is a service body only; never a government for AA.
District 9 is an unincorporated body within Area 15 with boundaries the same as those of Broward County, Florida. District 9 is autonomous within its boundaries having no authority over any other District in South Florida Area 15; nor is District 9 subservient to any other District in the Area.
Alcoholics Anonymous Preamble
Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.
The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.

Unity Declaration
This we owe to A.A.’s future: To place our common welfare first; to keep our Fellowship united. For on A.A. unity depend our lives and the lives to those who come. (source)
