Duncan Seeks Applicants to fill Vacancies on the
Partnership Board for Victims of Hate/Violence

County Executive Douglas M. Duncan is seeking applicants to fill one partial-term vacancy on the Partnership Board for Victims of Hate/Violence.

The board reviews and approves applications from victims for compensation from the Partnership Fund for Victims of Hate/Violence. Members also seek public awareness for the fund, and publicize and work with local media, businesses, schools, churches, and community organizations.

Members serve three-year terms without compensation. The board meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 8 a.m. in Rockville.

Applicants should write by July 13 to County Executive Douglas M. Duncan at the Executive Office Building, 101 Monroe Street, Rockville, MD 20850. A brief resume, including home and work numbers, should be enclosed. Members of County boards, committees, and commissions may not serve on more than one such group at a time.

Duncan’s appointments are subject to confirmation by the County Council. Applications of those selected for appointment are made public as part of the confirmation process.
