Early meetings held in conjunction with other War Council agencies determined areas of program responsibility between the various organizations; later, regional meetings were held among local war councils to coordinate activities.

Later regional meetings and conferences concentrated on OCM programs such as nursing recruitment, material conservation, and youth programs.
