Public Information/Cooperation with the Professional Community (PI/CPC)


The Public Information Committee is A.A.'s Official Contact with Members of the Public Community.

What We Do

AA Public Information has one ultimate goal, and it is the same as that of every AA group and every type of service work: To carry the message to the alcoholic who still suffers, But public information tries to reach the alcoholic indirectly, was well as directly, in three ways:

  1. By informing the general public about the AA program
  2. By informing "the third person" whose work is or may be involved with the active alcoholic
  3. By keeping the fellowship well-informed, so that members and groups may carry the message more effectively.

Why We Do It

Much of the Public has not had the opportunity to find out how the AA Program works. There are a great many misconceptions about AA in the public eye. Unless we inform the public, many practicing alcoholics may never find us. The PI committee is prepared to meet with any group of individuals that would like information about what AA is and what it is not.
