IN ACCORDANCE WITH TITLE 1 OF THE HIGHER EDUCATION ACT OF 1965, THE GEORGIA STATE AGENCY FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE AND CONTINUING EDUCATION SPONSORED CONFERENCES TO IDENTIFY PROBLEMS AND TO ASSIGN PRIORITIES TO PROBLEM AREAS. DURING THE EIGHT REGIONAL CONFERENCES, ATTENDED BY 317 COMMUNITY LEADERS AND INTERESTED CITIZENS FROM 95 GEORGIA COUNTIES, 92 SPECIFIC COMMUNITY PROBLEMS WERE IDENTIFIED. MEMBERS OF A STATEWIDE LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE (INCLUDING 19 REPRESENTATIVES OF HIGHER EDUCATION) REVIEWED THE PROBLEMS CITED AND UNDERTOOK TO SET PRIORITIES. MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF PARTICIPATING INSTITUTIONS THEN ASSIGNED THE FOLLOWING RANK ORDER TO THE BROAD PROBLEM AREAS--COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNING, OCCUPATIONAL COMPETENCE OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, HUMAN RELATIONS AND COMMUNICATION AMONG ORGANIZATIONS AND SOCIOECONOMIC GROUPS, SELF REALIZATION, AND FAMILY LIFE. THE STATE AGENCY DETERMINED THAT DURING 1968 HIGHEST PRIORITY SHOULD BE GIVEN TO IMPROVING COMMUNITY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT, ADMINISTRATIVE SKILLS OF MUNICIPAL AND COUNTY OFFICIALS AND EMPLOYEES, AND INTERGROUP RELATIONS AND COMMUNICATION.
