Cooperation with the Professional Community (CPC), Panel 74

Panel 74 Chair: Gregory J.
e-mail: CPC@LongBeachAA.org

Your District 04 CPC Committee can bring the message of Alcoholics Anonymous to professionals in your community, helping them understand how and why AA works. Members of CPC Committees inform professionals and future professionals about AA – what we are, where we are, what we can do, and what we cannot do.

CPC works at establishing better communication between AA’s and professionals, and to find simple effective ways of cooperation without affiliation. Non-alcoholic professionals may work and/ or meet the alcoholic where AA is not known or present.

Through professionals, alcoholics may be reached who might otherwise never find the program. Moreover, they may be reached sooner with the help of informed non AA professionals who may cross paths with the alcoholic through their chosen profession.

Professional communities include that of medicine, education, law, corrections, the judiciary, the military, the clergy, and social work. In this way, still suffering alcoholics can be reached where, under other circumstances, may fall through the cracks.

CPC is vital and rewarding Service work. District 04 is here to support your CPC vision, your goals and your efforts.

Corrections Committee Workbook

The purpose of a corrections committee is to coordinate the work of individual A.A. members and groups who are interested in carrying our message of recovery to incarcerated alcoholics. Bringing meetings and literature into facilities, raising awareness of the Corrections Correspondence Service (C.C.S.) among “inside” and “outside” A.A. members, and helping inmates transition to a local A.A. Community through Pre-release contacts are just some of the activities corrections committees support. (From AA.org website)
