Regular Meeting and Contact
First Saturday of the month at 10:00 ET via Zoom
Contact email address: PIC@greysheet.org
Purpose
The purpose of the Public Information Committee is to share the Greysheeters Anonymous (GSA) solution with people across the nation, around the world, and throughout the global community. We offer experience, strength and hope, along with supporting public information materials -- including outreach through social media -- to help individuals and local groups let their communities know that there is a solution for those who can’t stop eating, or who are having trouble with food.
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
During 2020-2021, we plan to
- Finish our review of the recorded and printed stories on the GSA website

- Create a presence on other social media, including Craigslist Recovery and Instagram
