What is a GSR (General Service Representative)?

“…transmit ideas and opinions, as well as facts; through [GSR], the group conscience becomes a part of “the collective conscience of our whole Fellowship,” as expressed in the General Service Conference. Like everything else in A.A., it works through a series of simple steps. (For the complete picture in detail, read The A.A. Service Manual.)”
