State Coordinator (Barovitch), 1975

The Administrative Records Series in Accession I contains by-laws, directories, correspondence and other records of the coordinators/presidents and other officers, proceedings of the State Council and annual conferences, committees, taskforces, including the Political Action Committee and the Political Research Office, and the newsletter. Also included are semi-official, and non-NOW files, which reflect topics of interest to NOW members, including papers on consciousness raising, Florida NOW history, the International Women's Year (1976), and regional and national groups. This Series is largely composed of the coordinator's and president's papers, although it includes records covering other officers, groups, and activities. The files for the Council meetings, for example, will contain the background material which the coordinator as the presiding officer and chief executive gathered regarding agenda items, as well as the actual minutes, agenda, and reports presented at the meeting. In general, it would be wise to consult the appropriate coordinator's correspondence files when doing research on any topic. The coordinators/presidents represented in this series are Karen Coolman (1973-1974), Margaret Barovitch (1974-1976), Valerie Adams (1976-1977), Rebecca Berg (1977-1978), Genece Minshew (1979-1980), Eileen Cudney (1980-1981), and Pat Kennedy (1981-1982). The largest groups of files are from Barovitch, Berg, and Minshew.
