Public Information Committee Report

3rd Quarter 2025

Purpose: 

The Public Information Committee’s primary purpose is to carry the AA message to the alcoholic who still suffers. The Committee promotes the unity of online AA groups in accordance with Tradition One; carries the message of AA in accordance with Tradition Five; and responds to the needs of the online AA groups in accordance with Tradition Nine. The Committee provides a central source of information about Alcoholics Anonymous; OIAA and answers general questions about our website; the OIAA organization; listed online meetings; the directory; requests for general information; and complaints or directs those concerns to the appropriate committee for a response.  

Third Quarter :

The Public Information Committee received 75 legitimate inquiries from July 1 through September 30 2025. We received 5 spam emails during the same period. All spam emails were rejected and reported to Google. The email addresses were placed in the “banned user” section of Workspace.

All legitimate requests were answered by a PIC member with 14 being forwarded to the other service committees or a Board member for a reply. All queries received prompt replies, usually within hours of receipt.

PIC has 2 active members currently. Managing incoming email requests remains doable with our present membership. We rarely receive more than 2 or 3 requests per day.

Respectfully submitted,

Mary M.

Public Information Committee Chair
