Who are we?

The Capital Area DA Intergroup is a service arm of the Debtors Anonymous groups in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area. DA and BDA members have found ways out of the pain and confusion caused by debting by participating in the DA program.  We want to tell others who are experiencing the same problems that there is a solution. The CADA Intergroup combines the resources of the individual groups to carry out projects that would be difficult for a single group to achieve.

How does the Intergroup work?

Each group elects a representative to participate in Intergroup meetings. The Intergroup representatives decide what projects they want to try, form committees of DA volunteers to do the projects, and report the results back to the groups. 

How do we help individuals? We ...

• Keep and distribute up-to-date information on meeting times and locations
• Staff a voice-message line to give out area meeting information and to answer questions
• Organize and sponsor workshops and other special events for DA members in the local area
  
• Create and maintain this web site for the public and for DA members

How do we help groups? We ...

• Encourage the formation of new groups by giving out information and DA literature
• Give information to members of the media and counselors, educators, and other helping professionals who wish to learn about DA
• Pass along information about individual group activities to other groups in the area

What do we get out of it?

Intergroup activities are more than just meetings. They are chances to have fun with other DA members, to visualize exciting projects and make them happen, and to see ourselves grow as we work together.
