Purpose
The purpose of the Public Information Committee is to provide information about the GreySheeters Anonymous (GSA) solution to the public at the national and international levels. The Public Information Committee strives to provide experience, strength and hope along with public information materials to those working at the local level to inform their communities that there is a solution to compulsive eating.
Report
Update
In October 2019, the World Service Conference revitalized the Public Information Committee which had been inactive for several years. We met monthly to:
- Discuss how to get the word out to the compulsive eater who continues to suffer
- Review information about malpractice insurance carriers who fund bariatric surgery and how to provide these carriers with information about GreySheeters Anonymous as an alternative
- Review and categorize the current recorded stories on the GSA website
- Assess which stories on the website best serve the compulsive eater who still suffers to transfer to the new website
- Create a GreySheeters Anonymous public Facebook page
- Send letters and the trifold To the Medical Professionals along with Can’t Stop Eating? to medical professionals
Plans
