The charter provides that the membership shall include "representatives of all segments of the City of Atlanta". This requirement was of prime consideration in the selection of the names attached, The numbered names, one through twenty, are the first choice recommendations by our committee, several of which are followed by alternate suggestions, The charter provides that you will appoint six for one year terms, seven for two year terms, and seven for three year terms, and name one as the chairman. Your appoint- ment of these members is subject te the approval of the Board and it is our hope that you will send these to the Board at its next regular meeting on Monday, November 21, In most cases, incidentally, we have not checked to determine Mayor Allen Page Two November 17, 1966 if these people are willing to serve.

C. 20024 Dear Secretary Romney: I am Chairman of The Community Council of the Atlanta Area, Inc. and was among those present at the meeting held in your department on last Friday, May 23. We appreciated very much the opportunity of meeting with you and Mr. Fisher and some of the · members of the staff which has been formed to move forward with the Voluntary Action Program. The proposal and the meeting could not have b een more timely from our standpoint. Our Council and other organizations in the Atlanta area have been working for fourteen months on the organization of a facility to effectively .and efficiently recruit, train and place volunteers. We enthusiastically support the idea proposed by the President as we understand it. I enclose a Memorandum which sets out the procedure which we followed in organizing and funding an agency designed to use individual volunteers and groups to expand , supplement and enrich programs of existing public and private voluntary agencies and to stimulat e the deve lopment of n ew and innovative pr oj ects or programs to solve specific problems in specific areas. As ·s tat ed in the Memorandum, we b egin our operation on June 1. Aga in, let me say how much we appreciated the opportunit y of meeting with you. I am today writing to Mr. Roger Feldman and will send him a copy of this Memorandum . We look forward to �I ·.,' . . Hon. George W. Romney May 28, 1969 Page Two working with your corrrrnittee.

HOWELL �MEMORANDUM May 28, 1969 TO: Honorable George W. Romney Chairman, Cabinet Committee on Voluntary Action FROM: Eugene T. Branch Chairman, The Community Council of the Atlanta Area, Inc. This is to review briefly the background and present status of a planned volunteer citizens service project in the metropolitan Atlanta area. This area - encompasses five counties in the metropolitan Atlanta area. The project is being spon- sored by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, Economic Opportunity Atlanta, the Atlanta Junior League, the Community Chest, and the Community Council of the Atlanta Area, Inc. It also has the strong backing of the Office of the Mayor of the City of Atlanta. The Community Council convened the meetings of the organizations which lead to the formation of the project and the Council now serves as the umbrella organization under which the project is operated. 1. Background. The proposed project for the training and placement of volunteers arose from the realization that in the Atlanta urban area we are not likely to be able to expand services as rapidly as needed unless we effectively tap some presently untapped resources. If we undertook to expand the exist- ing services of public and private agencies in the traditional way, it would be years before we would have sufficient funds and trained personnel to make any serious impact on our problems. s •" 1"" 'l ~ .., �The largest untapped resource appears to be individuals and organizations whith would like to make a contribution. Effic- iently and effectively channeling this resource is not an easy task but it has been done in a number of cities and it was believed Atlanta has a unique opportunity to demonstrate an effective use of volunteers. In the late spring of 1968, we had a meeting of organizations which were being flooded with calls from citizens and groups which wanted "to do something." We met with representa- tives from EOA, the Mayor's Office, the Atlanta Junior League, and the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. From this early meeting, it was decided that we should sponsor a luncheon meeting of organizations which might be helpful in either using or recruiting volunteers. This larger meeting included representation from about seventeen organizations. At that meeting a Steering Committee was formed and has been functioning ever since. 2. Steering Committee Recommendations. The Steering Committee consists of representatives from the Atlanta Junior League, the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, EOA, Corrrrnunity Chest, and the Community Council of Atlanta. From time to time we have also had present representatives from the Women's Chamber of Commerce. The Steering Committee after a number of meetings reached the conclusion that the most desirable procedure was to sponsor a demonstration project to extend over a two, maybe three - year period. The project would be jointly spon~ored by the Junior League , the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, Corrnnunity - 2- �Chest, EOA, and the Connnunity Council. would be "members." Other interested groups Funds for the support of the project would flow through the Community Council and be specifically designated for the Volunteer Service project. . ' I enclose a copy of a docu- ment entitled "A Coordinating Agency For Volunteers" and this sets out the general procedure which will be followed. This was simply an outline document from which we worked and does not purport to be a blueprint for organizing an agency for placing volunteers. In essence, the purpose of the organization is as follows: (a) Recruit and register volunteers and volunteer groups. (b) Screen such individuals and groups for placement. (c) Provide training for volunteers. This would consist of some classroom activity and some on-the j ob training. (d) Provide leadership on the effective use of volunteers and work with agencies and programs in which they would be used. The experience which we have had, and that of volunteer programs in most other cities, illustrates that the most dif ficult part of the job is training agencies to use volunteers effectively. (e) Evaluation. We would provide a procedure by which we would periodically evaluate the using agency and the volunteers. The Steering Committee was divided up into various task forces. One committee reviewed applications for the job of Ex ecutive Director. One committee, with the Atlanta Chamber of Connner ce, sought a suitable location for the operation . The Junior League, in conjunction with a subcommittee, undertook to rec r uit the Cha i rman of the committee s which will be responsible fo r th e var ious func tion s of the agency. It is cont emplated t ha t the pr oj e c t i tself will b e sta ff ed almos t entirely by volunt e ers. I I -3- �. __,_ ~ I One of the most encouraging developments is the express ed desire of the Junior League representatives to support the project not only with money but with a considerable amount of volunteer time by its members. 3. Funding The Project. The enclosed outline of the pro- ject has been revised from time to time. been added as a sponsor. Of course, EOA has Also, we have reached the conclusion that the first, and possibly second, year of the project could be adequately supported by $40,000.00 a year. The Atlanta Junior League has voted to support the project by a contribution of $15,000.00 during the first year and $10,000.00 during the second year. The Atlanta Chamber of Commerce has voted to provide $10,000.00 during the first year. The contribution towards the second year operation has been left open. The Community Chest is contributing $5,000.00 for the first year's operation. Local foundations are providing the balance of the funds. The Community Council has provided some staff assist ance and will continue to do so. EOA has also provided staff and consultant support and has pledged to continue to do so. I • 0 enclose a copy of a letter from Jim Parham dated March 12, 1969 indicating the willingness of EOA to be one of the sponsors of the project. I also enclose a copy . of a letter from Mayor Allen dated April 10, 1969 expressing the City 's interest in the pro ject. We have corfllTlunicated frequently yJith Mr. Dan Sweat in the Mayor's Office, and I am confident that we will be able from /: -4- �time to time to obtain assistance from the City. Mr. Sweat's office has been flooded with people and organizations calling to find out what sort of project or program they could work on and they have not been able to respond as they would wish. 4. Present Status of the Project. named "Volunteers Unlimited." The project has been We have had donated. to us until September of 1970 a building which fits the description set out in the document entitled "A Coordinating Agency For Volunteers." The building has adequate adjacent parking, is just off an expressway, is near the complex of predominately Negro universities in Atlanta, and is easily located. We have employed an Executive Director who is now working on a voluntary basis but goes on our payroll on June 1. The Chairmen of the committees charged with the different responsibilities of the agency have been named ·and are enlisting their committee members.

C. 20024 Dear Secretary Romney: I am Chairman of The Community Council of the Atlanta Area, Inc. and was among those present at the meeting held in your de- partment on last Friday, May 23. We appreciated very much the opportunity of meeting with you and Mr. Fisher and some of the ‘members of the staff which has been formed to move forward with the Voluntary Action Program. The proposal and the meeting could not have been more timely from our standpoint. Our Council and ' other organizations in the Atlanta area have been working for fourteen months on the organization of a facility to effectively and efficiently recruit, train and place volunteers. We enthus- iastically support the idea proposed by the President as we under- stand it. I enclose a Memorandum which sets out the procedure which we followed in organizing and funding an agency designed to use individual volunteers and groups to expand, supplement and enrich programs of existing public and private voluntary agencies and to stimulate the development of new and innovative projects or programs to solve specific problems in specific areas. As stated in the Memorandum, we begin our operation on June l. Again, let me say how much we appreciated the opportunity of meeting with you. I am today writing to Mr. Roger Feldman and will send him a copy of this Memorandum. We look forward to Hon. George W. Romney May 28, 1969 Page Two working with your committee.

Branch Chairman, The Community Council of the Atlanta Area, Inc. This is to review briefly the background and present status of a planned volunteer citizens service project in the metropolitan Atlanta area. This area encompasses five counties in the metropolitan Atlanta area. The project is being spon- sored by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, Economic Opportunity Atlanta, the Atlanta Junior League, the Community Chest, and the Community Council of the Atlanta Area, Inc. It also has the strong backing of the Office of the Mayor of the City of Atlanta. The Community Council convened the meetings of the organizations which lead to the formation of the project and the Council now serves as the umbrella organization under which the project is operated. 1. Background. The proposed project for the training and placement of volunteers arose from the realization that in the Atlanta urban area we are not likely to be able to expand ser- vices as rapidly as needed unless we effectively tap some pres-~ ently untapped resources. If we undertook to expand the exist- ing services of public and private agencies in the traditional way, it would be years before we would have sufficient funds and trained personnel to make any serious impact on our problems. )  The largest cabepned resource appears to be individuals and organizations which would like to make a contribution. Effic- iently and afgaccively channeling this resource is not an easy task but it has been done in a number of cities and it was bex lieved Atlanta has a unique oppoxtunkty to demonstrate an effec- tive use of volunteers. In the late spring of 1968, we had a meeting of organ- izations which were being flooded with calls from citizens and groups which wanted "to do something." We met with representa- tives from EOA, the Mayor's Office, the Atlanta Junior League, and the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. From this early meeting, it was decided that we should sponsor a luncheon meeting of organizations which might be helpful in either using or recruit- ing volunteers. This larger meeting included representation from about seventeen organizations. At that meeting a Steering Committee was formed and has been functioning ever since. 2. Steering Committee Recommendations. The Steering Committee consists of representatives from the Atlanta Junior | League, the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, EOA, Community Chest, and the Community Council of Atlanta. From time to time we have also had present representatives from the Women's Chamber of Commerce. The Steering Committee after a number of meetings reached the conclusion that the most desirable procedure was to sponsor a demonstration project to extend over a two, maybe three-year period. The project would be jointly sponsored by the Junior League, the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, Community  Chest, EOA, and the Community Council. Other interested groups would be "members." Funds for the support of the project would flow through the smiley Council and be specifically designated for is Volunteer Service project. I enclose a copy of a docu- ment entitled "A Coordinating Agency For Volunteers" and this sets out the general procedure which will be followed. This was simply an outline document from which we worked and does not purport to be a blueprint for organizing an agency for placing volunteers. In essence, the purpose of the organization is as follows: (a) Recruit and register volunteers and volunteer groups. (b) Screen such individuals and groups for placement. (c) Provide training for volunteers. This would con- sist of some classroom activity and some on-the- job training. (d) Provide leadership on the effective use of volun- teers and work with agencies and programs in which they would be used. The experience which we have had, and that of volunteer programs in most other cities, illustrates that the most dif- ficult part of the job is training agencies to use volunteers effectively. (e) Evaluation. We would provide a procedure by which we would periodically evaluate the using agency and the volunteers. The Steering Committee was divided up into various task forces. One committee reviewed applications for the job of Executive Director. One committee, with the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, sought a suitable location for the operation. The Junior League, in conjunction with a subcommittee, undertook to recruit the Chairman of the committees which will be responsible for the various functions of the agency. It is contemplated that the project itself will be staffed almost entirely by volunteers.  One of the most encouraging developments is the ex- pressed desire of the Junior League representatives to support the project not only with money but with a considerable amount of volunteer time by its members. Bs Funding The Project. The enclosed outline of the pro- ject has been revised from time to time. Of course, EOA has been added as a sponsor. Also, we have reached the conclusion that the first, and possibly second, year of the project could be adequately supported by $40,000.00 a year. The Atlanta Junior League has voted to snprort the project by a contribution of $15,000.00 during the first year and $10,000.00 during the second year. The Atlanta Chamber of Commerce has voted to provide $10,000.00 during the first year. The contribution towards the second year operation has been left open. The Community Chest is contributing $5,000.00 for the first year's operation. Local foundations are providing the balance of the funds. The Community Council has provided some staff assist- ance and will continue to do so. “EOA has also provided staff and consultant support and has pledged to continue to do so. I enclose a copy of a letter from Jim Parham dated March 12, 1969 indicating the willingness of EOA to be one of the sponsors of the project. I also enclose a copy of a letter from Mayor Allen dated April 10, 1969 expressing the City's interest in the pro-~ ject. We have communicated frequently with Mr. Dan Sweat in the Mayor's Office, and I am confident that we will be able from } ahs  time to time to obtain assistance from the City. Mr. Sweat's office has been flooded with people and organizations calling to find out what sort of project or program they could work on and they have not been able to respond as they would wish. 4. Present Status of the Project. The project has been named "Volunteers Unlimited." We have had donated to us until September of 1970 a building which fits the description set out in the document entitled "A Coordinating Agency For Volunteers." The building has adequate adjacent parking, is just off an ex- pressway, is near the complex of predominately Negro univer- sities in Atlanta, and is easily located. We have employed an Executive Director who is now working on a voluntary basis but goes on our payroll on June 1. The Chairmen of the committees charged with the different responsibilities of the agency have been named:and are enlisting their committee members. We will spend about two months educating our committees on their functions and getting our building in shape for opera- tion. When we are equipped to recruit, train and place volun~ teers effectively, we will have a concentrated eeae designed to give full publicity to the purposes of the agency. The agency will be run by a Board which will encompass representation from every segment of our population.  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Re: Volunteers Unlimited Dear Mayor Allen: This is to bring you up to date on the present status of our project to recruit, train and place individual and group volunteers in the metropolitan Atlanta area. Volunteers Unlimited is the name given to the project which is now being sponsored by the Atlanta Chamber of Corrnnerce, EOA, the Junior League of Atlanta, the Corrnnunity Chest, and the Corrnnunity Council. I enclose a copy of a letter from me to Secretary Romney, together with a copy of the Memorandum enclosed with my letter. The Letter and Memorandum are self-explanatory. I attended a meeting in Washington last Thursday and Friday, May 22 and 23, of executive directors and presidents of councils in cities having a population of one million or over. It was well attended. About twenty-five cities were repr esented. At the meeting with Secretary Romney and Mr . Max Fisher, our group first obtained assurance that the Voluntar y Action Program as envisioned by the National Administration is not intended to be a substitute for federal or state funds or programs - but is intended to be a supplement to these programs. We emphasized the fact that the nature of the problems in the cities is such that more federal and state money is r e quired - not less. �Hon. Ivan Allen May 28, 1969 Page Two At the Friday meeting it was pretty obvious that Secretary Romney would like to have gotten into a discussion of the Model City Program. As I am sure you know, the Nixon Administration plans to spread the "Model City" money over areas in the city beyond the boundaries of the neighborhoods now designated. We didn't get into a lengthy discussion but he did mention one thing which would be of interest to you and the people involved in the program in Atlanta. He said that preference in Model City Programs would be given to cities making maximum use of voluntary agencies and volunteers in the total community. It may be helpful to you and those involved in the Model City Program to point out that we have a project for the recruitment and placing of volunteers which is jointly sponsored by strong organizations and has the support of your office. We had a number of outstanding applicants for the job of Executive Director of Volunteers Unlimited. We finally selected Mr. Jack T. Mallory, Jr., who is twenty-eight years old and has had considerable experience with the YMCA and community organization. His employment is effective June 1. The Massell Companies are permitting us to use, without charge, a building on Gordon Street about one-half block from Ashby. This is a building formerly used by the Bank of Georgia. It is directly across the street from a branch of the Atlanta Library and a branch of the Atlanta Federal Savings and Loan Association. We think it is an ideal location and facility. During the next two months most of our time will be devoted to the organization of committees which will be responsible for recruiting, training and placing volunteers. One large committee will begin working with agencies in the accumulation of job de scriptions for volunteers . We still need some help in a number of a reas. We have to do some painting and remodeling of the building. We have to provide office equipment and supplies for our Headquarters. We do not have at this time sufficient funds JONES . BIRD & HOWELL �Hon. Ivan Allen May 28, 1969 Page Three to employ two neighborhood aides which we need in connection with the project. If you or Dan Sweat know of any large corporations which would loan us a young executive for a couple of months, this would be most helpful. We are basically funded for the first year. The next year we are going to have to take care of on the basis of our performance during the first year. However, we are determined to make this project a success. We are most encouraged by the enthusiastic support of the Junior League. As you know, these gals are real movers. We appreciated very much your letter of support and it has been helpful to us.
