Dallas Area Public Information Contingency Plan
IF THE MEDIA OR AN OUTSIDE ORGANIZATION CONTACTS YOU…
It is essential that all public information efforts of Narcotics Anonymous be well planned, prepared and carried out. The clarity and quality of our public image has a direct bearing on whether or not addicts who need us will be able to find us. For that reason, P.I. efforts must be undertaken with patient, careful planning.
In order to handle requests for Public Information in the Dallas area, we have set up a Contingency Plan:
1) ANY NA MEMBER RECEIVING A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FROM AN OUTSIDE CONTACT SHOULD IMMEDIATELY CALL:
|
The Dallas Area NA Helpline: 972-699-9306 - or - LSRNA Spanish Helpline: 888-600-6229 |
|
|
|
or send an email to: contact@dallasareana.org |
2) ONE OF THE INDIVIDUALS LISTED ABOVE WILL RESPOND TO THE CONTACT
WITHIN AN EIGHT-HOUR PERIOD.
3) WHEN A REQUEST IS MADE BY THE MEDIA, DALLAS AREA PUBLIC INFORMATION
SUBCOMMITTEE WILL HANDLE THE REQUEST.
4) IF DETERMINED THE LONE STAR REGION OR WORLD P.I. COMMITTEES MAY
HANDLE THE REQUEST, THE APPROPRIATE ONE WILL BE CONTACTED.
5) THERE ARE SOME BASIC RULES IN PUBLIC INFORMATION THAT NEED TO BE
UNDERSTOOD BY EVERY NA MEMBER:
 |
NEVER DO OUTSIDE SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS ON YOUR OWN |
|
NEVER DO MEDIA INTERVIEWS ON YOUR OWN!!! |
REMEMBER THAT NO INDIVIDUAL MEMBER CAN EVER REPRESENT NA!
WHICH IS WHY THE P.I. SUBCOMMITTEE IS HERE!!!!
