Education Committee, 1986-1992

The Education Committee series, (1.0 linear feet), Ethics and Social Impact Committee series (0.5 linear feet), Liaison Committee series (0.5 linear feet), and the Public Policy Committee series (1.0 linear feet) are all arranged in topical order and consist primarily of communications, handouts, and minutes. The "communications" files contain memos and outgoing and incoming mail that reflect the interests of the particular committee. The "handouts" files contain reference materials sent to committee members prior to a meeting. The reference materials consist of reprinted articles and reports collected from various sources that relate to the particular issues being studied by the committee. The "minutes/agenda" files contain agendas, minutes and action items. The researcher should look at the minutes and communications for any particular committee; together they provide a more complete picture of the work of each committee. The researcher should note that the "communications" folders sometimes contain stray minutes and handouts.

The Education Committee works to increase awareness by the transplant patient, health care professional and general public of issues related to organ transplantation. Documented within its files are programs to educate the public, including the Driver's Education curriculum and a media campaign addressing the problem of low organ donation rates among the minority population of Detroit. Also documented is the need for a model curriculum for medical professionals and new standards for licensing and certification of health professionals.
