“The only requirement for A.A. membership is a desire to stop drinking.”
PUBLIC INFORMATION COMMITTEE
Area 52 PI/CPC COMMITTEE
As our co-founder, Bill W., wrote: “Public information takes many forms – the simple sign outside a meeting place that says ‘A.A. meeting tonight;’ listing in local phone directories; distribution of A.A. literature; and radio and television shows using sophisticated media techniques. Whatever the form, it comes down to ‘one drunk carrying the message to another drunk,’ whether through personal contact or through the use of third parties and the media.”
Public Information, Cooperation with the Professional Community
This Area 52 Committee works to inform the general public about the A.A. program, coordinating the activities of public information within Area 52. Obtains and distributes Conference-approved radio, press, and television material. Maintains an inventory of films, video tapes, and audio tapes for Area 52 use.
The Committee also works to encourage activities within Area 52 by assisting Groups and Districts in PI/CPC activities by providing guidance on GSO-approved PI/CPC procedures and materials, appropriate sample activities and documents provided by other Districts and Areas, and promoting adherence to the 12 Traditions of Alcohlics Anonymous in all PI/CPC activity.
