Join a Subcommittee today and serve your fellowship!

Public Information
The purpose of the Public Subcommittee is to serve as the link between NA and the general public. The subcommittee will be responsible for establishing contact with all organizations, agencies, educational institutions, businesses, groups or individuals who, through their contact with active drug users and/or the general public, can help to create awareness of NA, its program, purpose, and availability.

Hotline
The Hotline subcommittee, at the area level, establishes, maintains and coordinates an effective 24-hour, seven day a week answering service.

Hospitals & Institutions Subcommittee
The Portland Area Hospitals and Institutions Subcommittee exists to carry the message of recovery from addiction to facilities whose residents are restricted from full access to regular Narcotics Anonymous meetings.

Activities Subcommittee
The Activities Subcommittee coordinates and plans activities, which promote unity and fellowship in the NA program.

Outreach Subcommittee
The main purpose of the Outreach Subcommittee of Portland Area Narcotics Anonymous is to promote unity and to overcome isolation among individual groups. Outreach can offer assistance to NA groups struggling with lack of experience or information, cultural differences and difficulties arising from internal controversy.

Literature Subcommittee
The duties of the literature subcommittee are gathering input from the fellowship in the area, formulating new literature, reviewing new literature, working on projects as directed by regional literature subcommittee and other projects pertaining to literature. Portland Area does not currently have an active Literature Subcommittee, but does sell literature monthly at Area Service meetings.
