DA Hawai'i Intergroup

Who are we?

The Intergroup is the collective voice of all the DA groups in Hawai"i.  DA 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 Hawai'i DA Intergroup combines the resources of the individual groups to carry out projects that would be difficult for a single group to achieve.

How does Intergroup work?

The individual voice of each group is carried to Intergroup via each of the groups elected representative.  The Intergroup representatives decide based on their groups voice what changes need to take place or projects they want to try or procedures to implement.  Intergroup representative can form committees of DA volunteers to do these various projects, and report the results back to their groups.

Who runs Intergroup?

The Hawai'i DA Intergroup is comprised of DA members who are trusted servants for specific period of time.  They serve and are responsible to interest of the groups in Hawai'i.
