From June through August there were on the average three Board meetings per month. which made it impossible for many members of the Board to attend. Normally. the Board does not meet in August. (4) All sections of the state are represented on the Board. The great concentration of members are from Areas I and II since this is the area in which most of the IIIB efforts are concentrated. as most of the migrants and seasonal farm workers are located in the Coastal Plains region of the state. (Enclosed are Board list and areas of representation.) (5) The confusion. lack of support for the Board by the Migrant Division. conflicting statements from Migrant Division representatives to staff. Board members and the press. and the unavailability of Miss Graves during this period created the dissension within the Board. The SCCFW analyst from the Migrant Division took it upon himself to change the program as approved to an entirely different program and he also took it upon himself to attempt selection of the employees of the SCCFW. He waged personal vendettas against several SCCFW employees. The past programs and efforts of the SCCFW Board prove the effectiveness of the Board if they are supported rather than dictated to and coerced by Federal officials.
