CPC/PI

CPC/PI, Cooperation with Professional Community/ Public Information. The Idaho Area 18 contains a CPC/PI East region and a CPC/PI West region, covering all of southern Idaho and Ontario, Oregon.

Idaho Area 18 combines CPC and PI. The CPC/PI Committee will provide information about A.A. to those who have contact with alcoholics through their profession. This group includes physicians, nurses, members of the clergy, lawyers, social workers, business and labor leaders, and government officials as well as those working in the field of alcoholism. Information will be provided about who/what/where we are, what we can do, and what we cannot do. Efforts will be made to establish good rapport and cooperation between A.A. and the professional community. The CPC/PI committee will provide and conduct an effective information program for the general public, so that our message of recovery can reach the alcoholic who still suffers.
