Public Information and Cooperation with the Professional Community (PI/CPC) is a committee of District 2. 

While AA has NO OPINION on outside issues, this committee provides general information about AA and its program of recovery from alcoholism to the following:

  • the media
  • professional groups
  • high schools/colleges and universities
  • physicians and nurses
  • lawyers and judges
  • police departments

Members of the committee are AA volunteers who have a particular interest in an area of PI or CPC service. They establish contacts in their area of service in order to carry the AA message to the specific media or professional group they are working with, and report back to the committee on their endeavors. 

PICPC responds to all requests from the media and/or professionals to participate in or attend public forums for the purpose of carrying the AA message of recovery. 

PI/CPC wants to make sure that the hand of AA is always there so we deal with those who deal with active alcoholics seeking a solution.  Like our responsibility statement says:

 “I am responsible…

When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, I want the hand of A.A. always to be there. 

And for that: I am responsible.”

All members of the PI/CPC committee are familiar with and respect the principle and spirit of anonymity and adhere to AA’s Twelve Traditions when engaged with the general public.

Any sober member of A.A. who would like to get involved in the committee is welcome to join us on the first Saturday of every month at Central Office at 11 am or email Monica at PICPC@District2TampaAA.org

Anyone from the professional community who would like more information, please email PICPC@District2TampaAA.org and someone will get back to you shortly.
