NCDA Intergroup Public Info Outreach
Did you know:
-
That 45% of the meetings in the NorCal region have closed between 2012 and 2017?
-
That DA's membership nationally is 5000 members and has remained there for 20 years?
-
That some states in the U.S. have only one or two meetings in the whole state?
-
That the following states don't have a single DA face-to-face meeting: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Kansas, New Hampshire, Puerto Rico, S. Carolina, S. Dakota, W. Virginia?
-
Many states don't have an Intergroup and if they do they have only a few members?
What's the solution?
-
Doing grassroots Public Info Outreach (PI).
Yes, yes, yes, but:
-
Will public info outreach really make a difference?
-
Is it difficult, time consuming, and generally un-fun?
-
What about my anonymity - after all, I don't want people to know I'm in DA?
-
I'm not Media Contact Trained - don't you have to be camera ready?
Whoa, whoa, whoa . . . we're not leaping over buildings here.
-
We're talking about starting with putting up a flyer on a bulletin board in the place where our regular DA / BDA meeting meets. There are likely other 12 Step Programs that meet in that same place and they've likely never heard of DA. We can help you get started.
-
If you're a professional and know that others in your profession would benefit by having DA information to pass on to their clients. We can help with this too.
