Pinning Guidelines:

To be eligible to be pinned, a member must have: (Per the GA Guidance Code)

Abstinence from gambling and regular attendance of at least thirty-nine (39) Gamblers Anonymous meetings (exceptions can be made, via group conscience decisions, for medical reasons) in the prior 12 months is required for pinnings and for all successive anniversaries. Date of abstinence starts from your first meeting after your last bet.

Chicagoland GA Pinning Scheduling Guidelines:

  1. No meeting will schedule more than 1 pinning event in a 30 day period.
  2. Notification of pinning must be communicated to the pinning chairperson NO LATER than the day before Intergroup meetings.
  3. To prevent conflicts, meetings may not schedule event on the same day as another meeting.  In the case of a conflict, the first meeting to schedule a pinning and inform the pinning chairperson will take precedence.
