About Us
This site is
maintained by members of
the NA Fellowship in the Hawaii Region who wish to share the experience, strength and
hope of the Fellowship on public relations service for NA.
Contributors to this site are numerous and world-wide, freely sharing
their resources in public information services. If you
wish to contribute material to this project, please contact us
through the information on our contact
page.
History
The na-pi.org site was born of the collective conscience of members
on the former World Service Public Information Committee in
1990's to further its mission. In 1998 the NA Fellowship decided to
disband standing
committees of the World Service Conference, so the idea was
never pursued by that committee or World Services. A WSC PI member from
the Hawaii Region presented the idea of creating a web site on public
information to the Oahu PI Subcommittee in the latter part of
1998, which the committee decided to support.
The website came online in February of 1999.
In September of 2002, a discussion board was created at the suggestion of a
NA member from Florida. The
na_pi_org discussion board went online in September of that
year. As of today we have 180+ members (as of January 2008) from all over the
world participating.
Over the years the site has grown and changed. NA
members world wide have contributed resource material to be
shared. If you wish to share PI/PR related material or have
suggestions, please contact us for
inclusion to our website.
The Future
We hope that the future of this site will reflect the rich and
diverse nature of our fellowship in experience and resources.
With the approval of the Public Relations Handbook at WSC 2006,
we look forward to Narcotics Anonymous "coming out of the
shadows" of secrecy and into the light of society at large, so
that no addict seeking recovery die from the horrors of
addiction.
