PI/CPC – Public Information and Cooperation with the Professional Community

PI/CPC stands for:

Public Information & Cooperation with the Professional Community (PI/CPC). This committee comprised of two of A.A.’s General Service committees. The Public Information Committee (PI) and the Cooperation with the Professional Community Committee (CPC). These two committees work together, to carry the message of recovery to the still suffering alcoholic through outreach to non-alcoholics in the general public and to professionals as well as to students at professional schools.

What PI/CPC does:

Members of the PI/CPC Committee carry the A.A. message by conveying information to the media, the general public and the professional community. We attempt to establish better communication between A.A., the media, the public, and professionals. The goal being to find simple, effective ways of cooperating without affiliating. Our competence to speak about alcoholism is limited to A.A.’s 12 Step recovery program.

PI – Public Information (P.I.) in Alcoholics Anonymous means carrying the message of recovery to the still-suffering alcoholic by informing the general public about the A.A. program. We carry the message by getting in touch with and responding to the media, schools, industry, and other organizations which can report on the nature and purpose of A.A. and what it can do for Alcoholics

CPC – Members of C.P.C. committees inform professionals and future professionals about A.A. We share what we are, where we are, what we can do, and what we cannot do. They attempt to establish better communication between A.A.s and professionals, and to find simple, effective ways of cooperating without affiliating.
