Chattanooga Area of Narcotics Anonymous
Public Information Contingency Plan
Updated as of 6/21/09
Purpose: It is essential that all members
of the Chattanooga Area with at least 90 days clean know what procedures are to be followed when Narcotics Anonymous is contacted
by someone outside of Na, including a print or broadcast news entity, for speaking engagements, general information, literature,
etc.
This plan will outline how such contacts are to be managed and should be distributed widely throughout the Chattanooga
Area
The Plan: Any member receiving
a request for information from individuals, agencies, or media contacts must immediately call one of the following:
1. The Chattanooga ASC or Volunteer RSC Public Information chairperson or
vice chairperson (contact information found below).
OR
2. The Chattanooga ASC or Volunteer RSC chairperson and vice
chairperson (contact information found
below).
The
group secretary and group service representative (GSR) should always have on hand phone numbers for the area PI chairperson,
area service committee (ASC) chairperson, and vice chairperson. All requests for information
from outside the fellowship should be referred to those trusted servants.
Some
very basic rules of thumb in PI need to be understood by every NA member:
·
Never do speaking engagements on your own. Refer them to the appropriate trusted servant (see
above).
·
Never do media interviews on your own. Refer requests for interviews to the appropriate trusted servant
(see above).
· Remember that no individual member can ever represent NA. That’s
why we have service committees to handle public information.
