Abstract

Iowa's legislature was in session, Agency budgeting was taking place, Area Community Colleges were struggling for existence and resistance to "another committee" were competing forces to the development of effective Area Committees. However, acceptance gained momentum that eventually grew to enthusiastic support in nearly all of the Areas. In Iowa, it was suggested that the initial efforts of the Committees should be directed to a real understanding of each Agency's function. This understanding, of itself, would be sufficient to justify the effort spent on CAMPS. Indifference blossomed into cooperative support as the budget, staff, salary and responsibility problems clarified the need in many Agencies to develop priorities in services offered. Knowledge of the intake or acceptance process of the Agencies, as well as criteria limiting acceptance into programs, made it evident a great deal of Agency time could be saved by sharing such helpful information.
