Contract w i t h AHSEA, Urban Health Program, Chicago (28) T h e chancellor at Chicago has recommended continuation of a contract with Advance Health, Social, and Educational Associates, Incorporated (AHSEA), of Chicago. The Board of Trustees first approved a contract with AHSEA in 1980. There have been substantial benefits in the relationship — to the Urban Health Program, the program's Community Advisory Council, and the University in its relations with the City of Chicago. The Community Advisory Council and its chairman have requested that the work be continued for another year. The contract calls for AHSEA to provide assistance to the chairman of the Community Advisory Council, particularly in the recruitment of new council members, to work with community groups to identify issues and prepare agenda items for the council and its committees, and to arrange council and committee meetings. The contract also directs AHSEA to support the Community Advisory Council in improving and increasing community participation in recruitment, early outreach, student financial assistance, and fund raising activities; and to assist the Health Sciences Center in communicating more effectively the purposes, goals, and achievements of the Urban Health Program to various community constituencies in Chicago.
