Puget Sound Central Service Office (PSCSO)

The Puget Sound Central Service Office (PSCSO) is an independent, non-profit service organization whose mission is to support the members, groups, and service committees of our seven districts — Districts 8, 10, 29, 42, 44, 60, and 64 — in fulfilling their twelfth step work.

What Does PSCSO Do?

  • 24/7 Hotline — Provided through the Twelfth Step Service Committee (TSSC). Also publishes the When and Where meeting booklet and an online meeting list.
  • Literature — Stocks A.A. books, pamphlets, birthday chips, and specialty coins available for purchase.
  • Meeting Space — Physical space for groups, standing committees, and conference organizers, with hybrid options available.
  • Newsletter & Website — Publishes a monthly newsletter and maintains a web presence for the broader A.A. community.
  • Group Mailboxes — Provides mailboxes for all A.A. groups in the service area.
  • Copy Machine — Available to A.A. groups to produce flyers and announcements at a nominal cost.
  • And numerous other services to A.A. members and the greater community.

Who Runs PSCSO?

The PSCSO is governed by a Board made up of two directors from each of the seven districts, plus three officers (Chair, Alt-Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, and Alt-Treasurer). The Board also includes two Bookstore Managers, an Office Coordinator, and a Website Manager.

The office operates under bylaws adopted on September 9, 2019, which are periodically updated as the Board requires.
