Gamblers Anonymous is run by the spirit of service and not the force of vested
authority. In order to avoid the problems inherent in the authority, Gamblers
Anonymous is not organized in the formal hierarchy. The Fellowship has no central
autonomous leadership. The service boards that have been created have no
formal veto power and are responsible to the will of the membership as a whole.
The International Service Office, Board of Regents and the Board of Trustees
have been set up by the membership of Gamblers Anonymous to administer and
guide the Fellowship. These groups do not have power within themselves but they
are responsible to each other, and to the entire membership.
At each and every level we assume responsibility, not authority, for there needs to
be some way to get the work done.

Unity Steps about compulsive gambling and Gamblers Anonymous.

GAMBLERS ANONYMOUS, AS SUCH, OUGHT NEVER BE
ORGANIZED; BUT WE MAY CREATE SERVICE BOARDS OR
COMMITTEES DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE TO THOSE THEY
SERVE.
