Interested in “carrying the message”?

Examples of PI Strategies

This issue of PI Patter – out this month (June 24) <LINK> – a publication of the AA Public Information and Co-operation with the Professional Community (PI&CPC), carries some interesting examples of ways that AA members, CSOs, Districts and Areas can “to carry the message to the alcoholic who still suffers”.

The PI&CPC aims to carry the message in two ways, through informing the general public about the AA program and through reaching “the third person”, whose work is or may be involved with the active alcoholic etc.
