Re: tlanta Youth Council
Dear Mayor Allen:
John Cox has tendered and the Executive Committee of
the Youth Council has accepted his resignation from his job
as Executive Director as of July 31, 1969. John is leaving
the Youth Council to take Frank Thomas' job as Executive
Director of the Butler Street Y.
The Executive Committee of the Youth Council feels
that John has served the Council diligently and effectively
during his tenure as Executive Director.
Before attempting to recruit a successor to John Cox,
we wanted to ask you if you had any suggestions for a suc-
cessor that we could offer to the committee in charge of
selecting such a person and also to ask you if your con-
ception of the Youth Council or of the job to be filled
had changed. As you may remember, there was some talk
last Fall of consolidating the Youth Council with another
group such as the Crime Commission or the Community Re-
lations Commission. At that time, we were anxious to get
the Council functioning and its programs underway and did
not want to get involved in a re-examination of its pur-
poses or its place in the structure of City Government.
That is still a fair assessment of the sentiment of the
Executive Committee.
Nevertheless, if changes in the status of the Council
are contemplated, the Executive Committee felt that these
changes should be known to it and taken into account in its
process of recruiting a successor to John Cox.
Very truly yours,
ATLANTA CHILDREN & YOUTH
