San Francisco (Calif.). Regional Service Committee

Historical note

The Advisory Committee on Regional Service (ACRS) was created by resolution of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors on August 7, 1939. Board President Warren Shannon's resolution described a plan to improve San Francisco's cooperation, business relations and public image with the surrounding counties in Northern and Central California. The San Francisco Examiner of July 29, 1939 noted that the "functions of the proposed agency, under Shannon's plan, would include public relations, development of a service program to help communities in San Francisco's trade area and long range planning to stimulate the city's commercial relations with the rest of the State." The resolution was passed by unanimous vote. As a result of the Committee's publications and press releases, it was more commonly known as the Regional Service Committee (RSC).
