About CPC

C.P.C. committees inform professionals and future professionals about A.A.—

• what we are,
• where we are,
• what we can do,
• and what we cannot do.

Committees attempt to establish better communication between A.A.s and professionals, and to find simple, effective ways of cooperating without affiliating.

The purpose of our Area 47 CPC Committee is to coordinate and initiate CPC efforts across Central New York.
