Board of Directors in accordance with the attached memorandum which was cleared with the Fulton County Commissioners and Mayor of Atlanta about a year ago. Originally, the Fulton County Commissioners appointed seven board members, the Mayor of Atlanta appointed seven, and the County Commissioners and Mayor together appointed jointly a fifteenth member to serve as Chairman. Later, under requirements of OEO, twelve elected representatives of the poor were added to the Board from respective neighborhood service center areas in Atlanta and Fulton County. Also later, Commissioners of Gwinnett and Rock- dale Counties each appointed two members and a third from each county was elected by the poor. Under the required reorganization, Fulton County and Atlanta will each appoint four members.

Since I was an appointee jointly of the City and County and since there is no longer provision for a joint appointment, the Mayor has asked that I continue on the Board as one of the four appointees of the City along with Rev. Joseph L. Griggs, Mr. A.H. Sterne, and Rev. M,L. King. As to the other four City appointees, Mr. William L. Calloway will prob- ably be continued on as a nominee of the Community Council of the Atlanta Area, Inc., Dr. John Letgon will reti#é from the Board in recognition of a nominee selected by the Board of Education, Mr. W.H. Montague is deceased, and Mrs. Ann Woodward will probably be nominated by the Board of Education as its representative. We believe that this plan continues on the Board the Fulton County and City of Atlanta appointees who are willing to continue, which will pro-. vide necessary stability. May I say that it has been a very great pleasure to work with all of your appointees, who have contributed very generously of their time and talents to our local anti-poverty efforts. The support of the Fulton County Commis- sioners and the the Mayor and Aldermen of Atlanta and the wisdom of your choices for members of the Board have had considerable impact on develop- ment of the local program into what has been recognized nationally as one of the best.

To exp a nd t h e list, one cou;bd name all �-2- fourteen neighborhood service centers and several extension offices, or list ten separate full year head start Centers, nine family' planning clinics, five legal aid offices, and the seventeen delegate agencies carrying out summer recreat~on activities. One might name the 200 block clubs and list the CNAC and CCAC committees which make up the heart of the community organization program. The VISTA and volunteer projects could be listed individually. There would be still further ways to break it down, but suffice it to say, we have a lot going. Furthermore, these program titles do not reflect Headquarters support activities like finance which h a ndles payrolls, accounting, purchasing 0 inventory, retirement, workman's compensation, the credit union, group health insurance; or planning which handles proposal development, contracts and data retrieval; or personnel with its task of recruiting, processing, keeping time and attendance, handling grievances, etc; or public information which answers countless questions, guides tours, sends out literature, writ1es stories and seeks attention for us. After this recitation, there's one thing that should be said: to Mr. Allison --- he will need it. Be kind PROGRESS In the past year, progress has been made in many ways: (1) The planning operation has been substantially improved and systematized under the leadership of Mr. Allison. (2) The MIS (Management Information System) report required by OEO has been facilitated by the diligent work of Mrs. Maynard Jackson and her assistant Mrs. Ann Sieffer t. A regional OEO off icial recently called this achievement outs tandin g . (3) The Finance Department is in the best condition ever; accor ding to our external auditors , Wolf and company. (4) Neighbo rhoo d Service Operat ions, u n der the ab le gu idance of Sue Crank, h ave b ecome more clearly defined, and the Center Directors have establ ished some exacting per f ormance s t andar ds of t he i r own. The _accomplishme n ts of o u r i ndividual Centers h ave been recited here each month, and their importance to the total program cannot be over-emphasized. �-3- (5) Edith Hambrick has led a special effort to improve social service activities in the NSC's . Four master social workers now provide guidance and supervision to social service counselors in all the Centers, making our service more consistently adequate and improving the efficiency of our record keeping. (6) The Community Organization Program, led by John Calhoun , established specific goals in a wide variety of areas, including edu cation , housing, welfare , employment, health, recreation, etc., and citizen committees hav e worked diligently and persistently at them. The results have shown increasingly productive dialogues between representatives of the poor and community institutions. (7) Manpower Programs, spurred by Clint Rodgers, have all registered gains. ACEP has been restructured with a much clearer understanding of its potentials as well as its limitations. All the cooperating agencies, EOA, the Georgia State Employment Service, the Vocational Education Division of the City Schools, and Vocational Rehab , have grown in their understanding of the needs of the hard core unemployed. The NYC Program under Charles Pierce has been complimented by the Regional Labor Office for its improved operation . (8) Public Info rmat i on , with Mrs . Mitchell assisted b y Pat Mason, cont i nues to do outstanding work . They scor ed notab l e achievements initiating the Start Now At l anta P r ogram a nd the VIP ' s. (9) The Volun te er P r ogram, u n der June sammon s ' ener get ic and r e s ourcefu l l eader sh i p , has b los somed t o 602 act i ve wo rke rs and s e ems l imitl ess i n i ts pote nt ial. (1 0) At long last, we have o ur Aide Tr a ining Program under way. Mrs. Anne Jackson i s in charge a nd t he goal is to give increased skills to all our aides and equip them for better jobs. (11) VISTA has had one of its brightest, most able groups of volunteers . They have worked on a variety of community problems 8 and through a joint effort involving a large number of them , they hope very soon �-4to open a warehouse that will be a coordinating purchasing office for six buying clubs they ~~ve organized. (12) Recreation, with Harold Barrett and Duke Harrison leading, has been developed into a y ear-round rather than strictly summer activity. A t otal of ten youthcommunity centers have been assisted into being, and football, basketball, and baseball teams have been developed among otherwise unreached youth .. One pr_e sent goal that seems achieveable is a year-roun d arts activity modeled after this summer's Creative Atlanta Program. (13) Child Development activities have been augmented by the successful beginning of the Edgewood Parent-Child Center for children from birth to age 3 and by the opening of the West End Child Development Center with its special emphasis on the use of older citizens a s child care specialists. There is real hope how that our Full-Year Head Start Program can be vastly improved in coming months by the conversion of summer Head Start funds. PROBLEMS In view of its assigned mission, EOA has several fundamental p roblems: (1) The basic community action program is under-funded and stretched · too thin . Neighborhood target areas are far too large for the r esources deployed . NSC's have too little staff to perform adequately their out-reach and community organization functions. (2) There is a need to further strengthen our plannin g and evaluation capacities . Close attention needs to be g iven to activities to determine what works well and why --- what doesn't work and why. Productive activities should be encourag ed and disseminated; promising ideas should be exploited. Regular operations staff, burdened with daily duties, seldom have energy left for this& �--5- (3) A formal staff development program is needed. EOA has, as part of its agenda, the employment within its own program of persons who are not fully p _r;-epared for the responsibilities given them. This affords opportunities to many who have aptitude but little formal training and experience. Many persons have blossomed with this opportunity, but some have been overwhelmed and frustrated. More consistent performance would be secured if each staff member could be regularly exposed to a program designed to increase his understanding of the problems the agency is working on and the techniques it attempts to use. {4} Erratic, year to year funding greatly handicaps planning , program development , and staff recruitment . It is hard to persuade competent, widely sought personnel to come to a program the future of which seems constantly in jeopardy. It is hard to plan and build improved services with the constant threat of budget retrenchment. Congress should be encouraged to clearly define the program and to give it authorization and appropriations adequate and dependable enough to do the job. (5) Finally, the biggest problem for EOA, in my opinion., remains the inherent complexity of the task. You are expected to solve the pnoblem of unemployment among the poor, but you do not control the jobs, the placement services or the training programs. You are expected to perfect the delivery of human services, but other a gencies contr ol welfare; _. health, education and recreation resources . You are expected to mobilize the poor in their own behalf but to do it without disturbing anyone o In s uch an as signme nt , the arr ay of forc e s , attitudes a nd cir cums t a nces which mu s t b e dea lt with a re inf initely complex and i n terwoven with the total fab r ic of society . To carry i t off with a ny degree of succ ess requir es g reat sensit i v ity, tact, intelligence , d et ermi nation , and cou rage. If success h as been l ess than c omplete, as it obviously has, it s h o u ld not, in any sense, be looked opon as fail.ure. To have attacked these tough problems a t all is a tribu t e t o the program's a udaci ty and to its willingne ss to risk itsel f on behalf of the poor. We need to remember that those of us who undertake to "wash society ' s dirtiest linen" seldom have happy customerso � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

At long last, we have our Aide Training Program under way. Mrs. Anne Jackson is in charge and the goal is to give increased skills to all our aides and equip them for better jobs.

One present goal that seems achieveable is a year~round arts activity modeled after this summer's Creative Atlanta Program. Child Development activities have been augmented by the successful beginning of the Edgewood Parent-Child Center for children from birth to age 3 and by the opening of the West End Child Development Center with its special emphasis on the use of older citizens as child care specialists. There is real hope how that our Full-Year Head Start Program can be vastly im=- proved in coming months by the conversion of Summer Head Start funds. In view of its assigned mission, EOA has several fundamental problems: (1) (2) The basic community action program is under-funded and stretched too thin. Neighborhood target areas are far too large for the resources deployed. NSC's have too little staff to perform adequately their out=reach and community organization functions, There is a need to further strengthen our planning and evaluation capacities. Close attention needs to be given to activities to determine what works well and why --= what doesn't work and why. Pro- ductive activities should be encouraged and disseminated; promising ideas should be exploited. Regular operations staff, burdened with daily duties, seldom have energy left for this. (3) A formal staff development program is needed. EOA has, as part of its agenda, the employment within its own program of persons who are not fully prepared for the responsibilities given them. This affords Opportunities to many who have aptitude but little formal training and experience. Many persons have blossomed with this opportunity, but some have been overwhelmed and frustrated. More consistent per- formance would be secured if each staff member could be regularly exposed to a program designed to increase his understanding of the problems the agency is working on and the techniques it attempts to use. (4) Erratic, year to year funding greatly handicaps planning, program development, and staff recruitment. It is hard to persuade competent, widely sought personnel to come to a program the future of which seems constantly in jeopardy. It is hard to plan and build improved services with the constant threat of budget retrenchment. Congress should be encouraged to clearly define the program and to give it authorization and appropriations adequate and dependable enough to do the job. (5) Finally, the biggest problem for EOA, in my opinion, remains the inherent complexity of the task. You are expected to solve the problem of unemployment among the poor, but you do not control the jobs, the place- ment services or the training programs. You are expected to perfect the delivery of human services, but other agencies control welfare, -health, education and recreation resources. You are expected to mobilize the poor in their own behalf but to do it without disturbing anyone. In such an assignment, the array of forces, attitudes and circumstances which must be dealt with are infinitely complex and interwoven with the total fabric of society. To carry it off with any degree of success requires great sensitivity, tact, intelligence, determination, and courage. If success has been less than complete, as it obviously has, it should not, in any sense, be looked opon as failure. To have attacked these tough problems at all is a tribute to the program's audacity and to its willingness to risk itself on behalf of the poor. We need to remember that those of us who undertake to "wash society's dirtiest linen" seldom have happy customers.  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Norwood, Jr. Regional Manpower Administrator U. S. Department of Labor 1371 Peachtree Street, N. E. Atlanta, Georgia 30309 Dear Mr. Norwood: Grave concern was expressed at the June EOA Board meeting about the up-coming requirement for ten percent non-federal matching funds in our next ACEP program year beginning September 1, 1969. Atlanta, like all large cities today, has very limited financial resources compared to its de=- mands, and it is extremely difficult for community agencies like BOA to secure additional local cash. As you will recall, the original ACEP proposal allowed EOA to claim as local “in-kind" the supporting resources of its community action program and other federally assisted agencies providing opportunities for New Careers and NYC trainees, With this now disallowed, and assuming current funding levels, EOA faces a need to generate approximately $200,000 in non-federal share. At present only about $88,000 of “in-kind” seems clearly available, leaving a potential non-federal deficit of more than $100,000. Atlanta, being the regional city that it is, finds that the best New Careers training slots, with promising salaries and upward mobility potential, are with federal or federally supported agencies. Likewise, the youth component (Operation Ready), by virtue of being tied in with Project Value, spon- sored by the Department of Defense, is in the same situation. While this is a happy circumstance for the individual en~ rollee, it poses a dilemma for those who must find 10% local resources to match these costs. Page 2 Mr. William Norwood July 1, 1969 Because of the above factors, the EOA Board would like to request that the U.

Box 224 Memphis, Tennessee 38103 Dear Mr. Conway: I have received a copy of your letter of May 21 to the Atlanta city government relative to the establishment of a manpower policy as well as Mr. Sweat's reply to you. As Mr. Sweat has pointed out, the City of Atlanta, at this point, has no overall official manpower policy. However, I would like to offer the following thoughts from where I see this heading. I believe that most people involved in manpower planning that relates to city government have come to the conclusion that, in a large urban area, manpower planning and policy can not be isolated from the plans to fight urban problems in general. Manpower policies, especially as they relate to inner-city poverty areas, are irrevocably tied to problems in housing, education, transportation, etc. It is my personal belief that an overall stragedy can be and will be developed through the Urban Observatory which is being established through Georgia State College in Atlanta. The Observatory as envisioned here will provide the necessary linkage of the vari academic disciplines as well as with the administrators who face practical problems of implementation on both a short and long range basis. I believe that this effort linked with a strong vigorous imput into the CAMPS system can begin to make some kind of sense out of the present multiplicity of efforts in manpower and other related problem areas. I hope that these thoughts will be useful to you in looking at the establishment of such a policy in Memphis. If I can be of any further assistance on this matter, please feel free to get in touch with me.

Tci "Whom It May Concern: • As Manpower Representative for Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Incorporated, the private non-profit Community Action Program serving Atlanta, I would like to state my support in principle for • a resident Urban Skills Center for young women. Experiences in the Concentrated Employment Program, Neighborhood Youth Corps and other training programs which we sponsor has consistently demonstrated the need for additional training opportunities for females. I believe a residential program will be essential if a Skills Center is to serve young women from extremely deprived backgrounds in terms of providing a change of environment and to provide in depth Supportive Services on a consistent basis. Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Incorporated, has in existence a well established system for dealing with many aspects relating to the unemployed. We have established a strong working relationship with the Georgia State Employment Service in a coordinated outreach, job referral and job development effort. We also have viable linkage with other community groups concerned with manpower problems such as the Atlanta Urban League, Model Cities, State Vocational Rehabilitation, and the Atlanta Board of Education. Economic Opportunity Atlanta will be happy to cooperate in these and other functions relating to a Skills Center if such a Center is relevant to the needs of low income residents in the Atlanta area. In addition, we would consider coordinating existing training slots in our Concentrated Employment Program and other training efforts provide funding levels are adequate and appropriate linkage to the Skills ~enter could be negotiated. We feel strongly that the Skills Center must provide a meaningful opportunity foi input as to design and functioning on the part of low income residents to be served. Without this the Skills Center will lack creditability in the community it purports to serve and will make recruitment and retention extremely difficult. I am not by this letter endorsing any particular agency or company seeking this contract but intend to convey our desire as an agency to cooperate .constructively with whoever receives the contract and providing that the prime contractor pres ents a program that is relevant to the needs of the people we serve. ~//I-- Clint Rodgers, Associate Administrator for Manpower � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Text Any textual data included in the document May 26, 1969 MEMORANDUM To: Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. From: Dan Sweat Subject: Attached letter from New York Urban Coalition on Summer NYC Jobs i had a call from Washington a few days ago asking how many NYC slots we would like for this summer. We had anticipated 250. I suggested that we would be able to effectively use 675 which was the final total we reached last summer. Since that time, we have received word that 675 slots have been approved, The U. S. Department of Labor has been fair with us in my opinion in giving us these slots. I don't really feel like we should have to help fight New York's battle. The problem is that New York is in a class all by itself and the number of jobs they need staggers the imagination, You will notice they are talking about upwards to 100,000 jobs. They have 55,000 approved. Unless you just want to support a general demand for more slots, as we have done in the past, I would recommend no action.
