New ‘Inside OA’ Podcast: Understanding Public Information and Professional Outreach (PIPO) in OA

Whether it’s as simple as leaving an Attraction Sticky Note in a public bathroom or as sophisticated as broadcasting our PSA video on your local television station, there is something you can do to give service for OA public information and professional outreach (PIPO).

In this latest episode of our Inside OA Podcast, host Meg M. sits down with Blair, a current trustee and member of the board’s Executive Committee, to discuss the many effective ways, large and small, OA members can give PIPO service. While PIPO service can seem daunting or scary, “actually if you break it down into small pieces,” says Blair, “it’s really manageable.”

A newly updated Public Information and Professional Outreach Service Manual and resources at staging-frontendrebuild.oa.org offer further support for anyone ready to get involved.
