The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor of the City of Atlanta
City Hall

Atlanta, Georgia 30303

Dear Ivan:

During the last year the Urban Coalition has grown rapidly
in both numbers of staff and the programs and activities

we are currently carrying out. The time when I could
singlehandedly manage both the external and internal affairs
of the Coalition has long since passed. For this reason,

I have instituted several internal changes which I believe
will significantly improve our capacity to carry out our
responsibilities during the forthcoming year. These

changes include the following:

1. I have appointed Peter Libassi, formerly Vice
President for Local Coalitions, to be the Executive Vice
President of the Urban Coalition.

2. I have revised the internal procedures by which
policies and programs were developed by establishing a
Policy Committee which I will chair. The other members of
the Policy Committee will be Carl Holman, Vice President
for Policy and Program Development, and Peter Libassi,

Sincerely,

John W. Gardner
Chairman
