“New York Intergroup promotes the common welfare of all group members in Underearners Anonymous in the Tri-State area. Our actions aim to provide support by coordinating the exchange of information and resources with groups and with the UA General Service Board, and to inspire fellowship among our members through the planning of events. We are dedicated to work in a spirit of cooperation, mutual respect and consideration of all ideas presented to support unity and recovery. All are welcome to participate in our meetings.”
