Presidents Address.
Mrs. MeMahOn's address. in part,
follows:
To some one factor in any undertake
ing is accorded its success or failure
and the renewed interest and activity
in every branch of the work under
taken by the Utah Federation of Wom-
ems clubs the past year is attributed
20 its cooperative policy, cooperation
| IN its broadcast sense; cooperation OF
! presidents of clubs, officers, chairmen
| OF committees and of the members
composing the committees. And so, CO.
! operation has been and will be the key
note of the success of the work OF the
! Utah Federation.
The method employed was to have
one member from each federated club
in the state serve on each one of the
! standing committees, and wherever
possible, TO have the chairmen of the
/ state committees serve on the CORE
! spending committees of the general
| federation, thus placing the individual
club in direct touch with the work OF
/ the state as well as the general fedora
ton.
Innovation Successful.
] To carry this idea still further. the
chairmen of these committees were
! asked TO meet with the board of direc-
/ tors at the first meeting held by that
/ body and present their plans and out
/ line of work. This innovation proved
most successful, as il gave the men,
/ bers of the board a very definite idea
I of the work TO be undertaken, so that
they might carry it back to their re-
spective clubs. This meeting of the
/ chairmen with the board was declared
TO be almost as good as a federation
meeting" and this innovation might
prove effectual should 1t be made
