An AA CPC/PI (Cooperation with the Professional Community/Public Information) committee job involves informing the public and professionals (like teachers, clergy, healthcare workers) about Alcoholics Anonymous to help still-suffering alcoholics find recovery, by creating presentations, distributing literature, working with media, and sharing AA’s message of “what we are, what we aren’t, and what we do” while upholding AA Traditions. Committee members operate under the instruction and guidance of the CPC/PI Coordinator increasing the overall effectiveness of the program by carrying the message in their area.
