Administrative series (1 linear foot) includes annual reports, board minutes, materials related to the organization's history, and copies of the newsletter Target: Earth. Annual reports span from 1970 to 1989, although those for the 1980s are incomplete. Reports range from one to four pages, and summarize the council's activities, provide some budgetary information, and describe legislation that was either supported or opposed. Minutes are from the Board of Directors meetings, and range from 1969 to 1984. The minutes from 1969 are from the Junior League of Birmingham, Michigan, and document the first steps taken to form EMEAC. Later minutes record administrative activity, provide budget statements, and include reports from sub-committees regarding issues to focus on with recommendations for future action.

The newsletter provides pertinent environmental news and includes announcements of upcoming events. It also provides legislative updates and editorial statements. The run of newsletters in this collection is sporadic for the early years, with several volumes missing entirely. It is, however, complete for the years 1985-1987.
