Ms. Joan Harris Office of Social and Psychological Services 2300 North Charles Street Baltimore, Maryland 21218 Dear Ms. Harris:

From time to time, I have formed ad hoc committees to address specific, current problems and these committees have been very important and helpful to me. Now, in my conduct of city government, I find a definite need for enlisting the experience and wisdom of professional women to advise me on a variety of sub- jects.

Therefore, I propose to establish such a group to be available to me for advice, suggestions, and assistance. This body would prob- ably meet twice a month to review general issues of current and future concern. I would hope to draw from the group some committees or individuals, to work on problems and advise me on special topics. These topics could range from promotion of the city, to funding the Pride of Baltimore, to vandalism, to litter, to • juvenile delinquency, to cultural attractions, or to the bringing of new industEy to our City. The members might want to discuss specific business problems or new ideas for the betterment of our City. I am, therefore, creating a Mayor's Council of Professional Women to be made up of approximately 25 or 30 individuals of special position in our community.

This is an invitation for you to be a member of this group which I hope will be informative for you and beneficial to our City.

Mrs. Robert E. Michel will act as temporary coordinator. If you decide to accept the assignment, please call my secretary, Mrs. Chafin, at 396-3100 and let her know if you can attend the organization luncheon on March 5, 1980 at 12 noon in my office (Room 250) on the second floor of City ~all. The luncheon will start at 12 ",

Dear Ms. Harris:

I enjoyed the initial meeting of the Mayor's Council of Profes- sional Women. As I indicated, I have hopes that this group will evolve over time into a valuable forum where information can be exchanged and ideas can be tested.

It is my intention to meet with the Council of Professional Women on a regular bi-weekly basis every other Thursday beginning at noon promptly and ending at 1:30 P.M. sharp. I would be pleased if you would plan to join me for the second session of our group on Thursday, March 20 at noon in the Executive Conference Room, city Hall (Room 250). A portion of our meeting will include presentations on our 1980 Census preparations and upcoming Spring and Summer activities in the Inner Harbor and Downtown areas. I look forward to seeing you on March 29. Please call 396-4892 to confirm your attendance.

Board of School Commissioners. In both instances, citizens through active participation and involvement are demonstrat- ing a personal commitment to education. Many of the specially funded projects in the Baltimore City Public School System, likewise, are the benefactors of citizen support and commitment to their purposes and programs as evidenced by a growing number of parents and community persons who have accepted appointments to various boards, advisory councils, and adjunct support organizations.

Regulations under which certain special projects are funded require that parent, community, student, or teacher advisory groups be formed to assist them and to offer input. Other special projects have elected to organize such groups because A CIVICS volunteer works with two students at School 101. they recognize the potential values to be derived through citizen support and participation.

2 Projections, April 1980 Project GO Promotes Business/Industry Team Efforts

Project GO (§rowing Qpportunities), which began in 1966, is a locally funded career awareness program in the Balti- more City Public Schools. The main goal of the program is to involve representatives from the employment and education communities in activities designed to assist with career development for secondary school students through career awareness and exploratory experiences. Under the direction and leadership of Mrs. Muriel Johnson, the program has grown from an initial participation by one junior high school to the involvement of more than twenty schools, including middle/junior highs, exceptional, compre- hensive senior highs, general vocational, and vocational senior highs. Additionally, the program offers consultant services for elementary schools upon request.

Through the cooperation of business and industry, the program is committed to the following objectives: -To open new avenues for student career exploration A personnel representative from a participating agency reviews the forms of a Project -To link skill development with student GO student during an employment seminar. career planning operations in action.
