CNIA PI/CPC Monthly Committee Meeting @ Zoom
Mar 26 @ 7:30 PM – 8:30 PM

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

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.

Cooperation with the Professional Community (C.P.C.) members inform professionals and future professionals about A.A. — 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.

CPC sprang out of PI in 1970, when it was recognized that some professionals interact with the still-suffering alcoholic as a part of their job.  Through professionals, alcoholics may be reached who might otherwise never find the program, or they may be reached sooner with the help of informed non-A.A.s.

CNIA – the California Northern Interior Area 07 of Alcoholics Anonymous has a monthly PI/CPC committee meeting on Zoom.  We meet on Zoom on the 4th Tuesday every month at 7:30 P.M.

CSO liaison report 2024-03-06

“By choosing its most qualified member as G.S.R., a group helps secure its own future — and the future of A.A. as a whole.”

When you’re a general service representative (G.S.R.) You are linking your home group with the whole of A.A. In 1950, a new type of trusted servant, “group representative,” was suggested to help in the selection of delegates to the newly formed General Service Conference. By 1953, the job of group representative was also seen as a good means of exchanging up-to-date information between individual groups and “Headquarters” (now the General Service Office). That’s still an important side of your work. But now, as general service representative, you have an even bigger responsibility: You transmit ideas and opinions, as well as facts; through you, the group conscience becomes a part of “the collective conscience of our whole Fellowship,” as expressed in the General Service Conference.
