Alcoholics Anonymous’ local committee for Public Information/Cooperation with the Professional Community (PI/CPC) provides information about Alcoholics Anonymous to members of the community whose profession may bring them in regular contact with anyone who may suffer from alcoholism. We offer information through a variety of methods and seek to establish simple and effective ways to work with professionals while maintaining a policy of “cooperation, but not affiliation.” Email us for more information.
AA meetings are designated as either “open” or “closed.” Anyone may attend an open meeting, alcoholic or not. A listed meeting will either have “O” or “C” next to it. We encourage anyone who wishes to learn more about AA to attend an open meeting. If you would prefer to attend a meeting accompanied by an AA member, one of our committee members would be happy to accompany you.

Looking to carry the message of AA? The Public Information / Cooperation with the Professional Community (PI/CPC) Committee has a variety of ways you can get involved. A wide range of opportunities are available, whether you want to be an active committee member, volunteer to give a presentation, or bring an information packet to your primary care physician. Many AA members were referred by a professional (doctor, lawyer, social worker, etc.). This is a vital AA service. Members of the professional community have been our advocates since the early days of AA in the 1930’s. This has played a key role in AA’s growth. Alcoholics Anonymous has maintained a policy of being “friendly with our friends.” If you wish to get involved, please complete the volunteer form:

The PI/CPC Committee is available to offer you resources as well! As an AA member who is also employed in a helping profession, you may have certain questions about anonymity, affiliation, and other concerns involving the difference between your job and Alcoholics Anonymous. The AA Guidelines for AA Members Employed in the Alcoholism Field may be of particular interest, and we are also available to answer any questions you may have. Email us for more information.
