Dear John:
The Atlanta Chamber of Commerce is planning a special program
beginning in September 1969. The purpose of Leadership Atlanta
is to develop a group of identifiable young leaders; acquaint them
with the basic problems and suggested solutions of the problems
facing Atlanta; and encourage participation in positive community
leadership.
There will be approximately 50 participants in this program; 30
sponsored by business firms, and 20 chosen from outside the business
community to insure participation from low income Negro groups.
A real effort is being made to insure representative membership
among the participants.
The sessions will be held once a month. Each one is developed by the
Chamber and a different educational institution. Background reading
material will be required before each session. The format will be
generally as follows:
1) Address on topic
2) Supper
3) Panel or seminar involving local figures
A listing of the subjects to be covered is included.

The first session is scheduled for September 29, 1969. The
Chamber would like for you to keynote the program with an
opening address. Faank Carter, Chamber President, and !
have been asked to participate in the after-dinner session and
are planning to do so.
On behalf of the Chamber, I hope you can participate in this
most worthwhile undertaking. If you would like, I will be happy
to arrange other engagements for you during the day.
Sincerely yours,
Ivan Allen, Jr.
