Update for PIC – Jan 2026

Public Information Committee Report

4th 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 or Board member for a response.  

Fourth Quarter 2025:

The Public Information Committee received 111 legitimate inquiries from January 1 through March 31 2025. We received no spam emails during the same period. 

All requests were answered by a PIC member with 7 being forwarded to the Cooperation with the Professional Community; Policies and Admissions; 12 Steppers; TechSteppers Committees; or a Board member for a reply. All queries received prompt replies, usually within hours of receipt.

PIC has 3 active members currently. We added Liam to the committee this quarter. He has completed training but his replies are being moderated for now.

Managing incoming email requests remains doable with our present membership. We rarely receive more than 2 or 3 requests per day. We do maintain a library of templates and resources for our members to use, if they wish. This will be my final report as Public Information Committee Chair as I have completed my two year term. We have no Alternate Chair and have nobody to serve in my place at this time.

Respectfully submitted,

Mary M.

Public Information Committee Chair
