Abstract

This article presents information on community councils. It is informed that a community council is a group composed of persons representing each community organization, agency, and interest. It is open to every one on a nonprofit, nonpartisan basis. It is organized on a community basis in towns and small cities, and on a neighborhood basis in large cities. The council may advise the organizations in the town, when asked; appoint a committee from its own membership to carry on certain tasks; or cooperate with any organization that may wish to carry on a given activity in the community. The council often has an executive committee for policy planning, and may find it necessary to give the details of responsibility to a secretary or coordinator on a half-time or full-time basis. It is opined that the best type of community council constitution is not known; a lot depends upon the cooperative understanding of the members of the community than upon the written framework adopted by the organization.
