Dear Elayne:

I am leaving Atlanta the first week of September for Harvard Business
School and we need a Director. I've been talking to Mike Goldstein
about possible directors and he suggested you. I did casually mention
at the recent Urban Corps Conference that we're looking, but I'd like
to make it more definite.

As you know, Atlanta's Urban Corps is progressing verve. wes beye
cooperative resources from area colleges, business donors, city govern-

ment and private agencies. I have no doubt about expansion possibilities-

only through planning. City government is co-sponsoring an Urban Life
Center with Georgia State College through a special grant from Housing
and Urban Development. It is a "kind of'' university relations office with
promising opportunity.

The Mayor's assistant says that if a decision was made to hire a person
of your caliber that you could possibly be a professor in the Urban Life
Center as well as direct the Urban Corps.

If you are interested, could you please send me a resume and call me
about arranging a visit?

erely,

M A. WILLIAMS
Director
