Get To Know Us!

PI/CPC stands for:
Public Information & Cooperation with the Professional Community (PI/CPC).  This is a single committee comprised of two of A.A.’s General Service committees – the Public Information Committee (PI) and Cooperation with the Professional Community Committee (CPC).  In Volusia County Florida, these two committees work together as one 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, and 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.

Cooperation with the Professional Community (C.P.C.)

Members of C.P.C. committees 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.

PI/CPC History:

Invite us to speak to your group

Why not invite a member of the PI/CPC Committee to give a free presentation or to give a talk about A.A. before your public or professional group, or organization?

We are freely available to convey to those who want to know, what A.A. is, where A.A. can be found, what A.A. can do, and what A.A. cannot do to help the still suffering alcoholic.

We’re here to help

We have many A.A. pamphlets (available for free) as well as a large number of books and a magazine, (the Grapevine, our meeting in print) that contain valuable information for the still suffering alcoholic.

If English is not your native language, A.A. also offers its materials in a wide variety of languages.
