Corbin\n118 Tast 54th Street\nNew York, N.Y.\nMy dear Miss Corbin:\nIn accordance with the nomination of the Manhattan, New York,\nLocal Committee on Red Cross Nursing Service, we are pleased to appoint you as\nchairman for a period of three years.\nThe developments in connection with national defense and our respon-\nsibilities for providing large numbers of nurses for the military forces, as\nwell as disaster preparedness, make it imperative that each member of the com-\nmittee have a definite share in its prescribed work.\nTo this end, you and the secretary will wish to outline a plan of\ncommittee activities and delegate a specific job to each committee member.\nThe attached diagram (ARC 710-D) is suggestive of how each member may give\nthe most effective service in enrolling eligible nurses.\nIt is recommended that each Local Committee be represented on the\nState Committee on Réd Cross Nursing Service by the chairman and secretary,\nin order that each Local Committee may function as a unit of the State Com-\nmittee and share in planning objectives for the state as a whole. The\nessentials in this connection are:\n1. An active and rotating committee membership (See \"Rotating system of\nappointing personnel to Local Committees\")\n2. Regular and well planned meetings with one annual meeting\n3. A year round publicity program (See \"Publicity kits\")\n4. Close cooperation with schools of nursing and professional registries.\n5. A good working relationship with Red Cross chapters.\nNo doubt your predecessor will turn over to you the informational\nmaterial she has received from National Headquarters from time to time, but\nwe are sending you a few pertinent publications for your immediate reference:\nARC 703\n- The American Red Cross Nursing Service\nARC 710 - \"Extracts\" regarding committee organization\nARC 710-D - Committee diagram\nARC 710-A - Suggestions for Local Committee officers\nSuggestions for Key Nurses\nSuggestions for stimulating interest in enrollment\nInstructions for handling correspondence.\n67676"
