{"value"=>"<p>The Administrative Files document the management and day-to-day operations of the Institute via meeting minutes, reports, personnel files, notes, and internal memos created by and for IBW staff. They are arranged into six groupings: founding documents, committees and governing bodies, staff, reorganization, interoffice memos, and property.</p> <p>Committee and governing bodies files consist largely of agendas, meeting minutes, and reports generated by the board of directors, advisory council, and various committees—executive, education and publishing, and policy and planning—that oversaw different activities of the Institute. Note that files from the earliest iteration of the advisory council, as well as the Institute's first governing council, are located in the Series I: Martin Luther King Memorial Center.</p> <p>Staff files include biographical material of IBW personnel; job applications and resumes submitted by prospective employees; and information on IBW's intern and volunteer programs. There are also agendas and minutes from regular staff meetings addressing the Institute's daily work and ongoing activities, as well as readings, notes, and transcripts from staff education meetings, which were gatherings for IBW staff to discuss readings, politics, and current events.</p> <p>Reorganization materials focus on the times IBW underwent major restructurings: once in 1970-1971, after the Institute's split from the King Center, and again in 1975, upon Howard Dodson's appointment as director. The memos and reports in these files include ideas and critiques from staff at all levels of the organization on the Institute's leadership, management, and overarching priorities and goals.</p> <p>Property files concern the physical building where the Institute was located, office supplies and equipment, and a series of burglaries and break-ins of the Institute that occurred in 1975.</p>"}
