ADMINISTRATIVE FILES II,, 1959(1967)-(1984)1988.

Summary: Documentation of basic activities of the state league, including the work of the President and committees. The major part (2 cubic feet) of this series concerns the oversight of local leagues and inter-league organizations by the State Board. Types of documents include financial and membership reports and answers to questionnaires sent by each local league to the state and national Leagues, lists of local board members, and correspondence and reference materials concerning local league programs.

This series also includes incoming and outgoing correspondence from the State Membership Chairman, membership statistics, and manuals, flyers and brochures concerning how to retain members. Much of the correspondence is from individuals who wanted to join the League. Also includes copies of materials sent out and received by the State Chairman of Organization, comprised primarily of correspondence with people who wanted to organize new leagues and guidelines on how to structure local leagues. Of particular interest are reports of area consultants on how well local leagues were functioning (1967-1972); reports of the Future of the League Committee (1973-1974); and a questionnaire distributed by the Endangered Species Committee, formed at the national convention in 1976 to address the decline in League membership.

Also includes copies of mailings sent out by the State Public Relations Chairman and press releases announcing meetings, events and official statements and actions by the State Leagues.
