EDUCATION AND INDUSTRY MUST WORK AS A TEAM AND SHARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF TRAINING THE WORK FORCE VITAL TO THE NATION'S ECONOMY. ADVISORY COMMITTEES HAVE BEEN USEFUL IN MEETING THIS RESPONSIBILITY ON THE STATE AND NATIONAL LEVELS. THERE IS A NEED FOR MORE EXTENSIVE AND EFFECTIVE USE OF SUCH COMMITTEES ON THE LOCAL LEVEL. THE PURPOSE OF THIS BULLETIN IS TO ENCOURAGE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS TO ORGANIZE ADVISORY COMMITTEES AND TO PROVIDE A GUIDELINE FOR THEIR EFFECTIVE UTILIZATION. GENERAL ADVISORY COMMITTEES SERVE IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS, AND SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR THEIR USE ARE INCLUDED.
