CPC – Cooperation with the Professional Community Committee
The ongoing mission of the Michigan Statewide CPC Committee is to coordinate services with Michigan AA areas 32, 33 and 34 communicating who we are, what we do and don’t do with the medical, legal, educational, business and other professionals in Michigan. The Statewide CPC Committee finds it beneficial to our area CPC services to meet quarterly and exchange information for better communication on a statewide service basis in carrying out our missions.
