Duncan Seeks Applicants for
Board of Electrical Examiners

County Executive Douglas M. Duncan is seeking applicants to fill two vacancies on the Board of Electrical Examiners. One vacancy is for a professional engineer; the other one is for a general public representative. The general public incumbent is eligible to apply for reappointment.

The five-member board reviews applications for electricians’ licenses, prepares examinations, tests electricians, conducts hearings, and recommends denial, suspension or revocation of licenses. Board members are expected to attend the monthly licensing tests, which are usually administered on the first Saturday of each month from 7 a.m. to noon in Rockville. Meetings are usually held the first, second and fourth Monday of each month at 4 p.m.

Members serve three-year terms. Newly appointed members will receive compensation of $3,500 per year. Applicants should write by September 28 to County Executive Douglas M. Duncan at the Executive Office Building, 101 Monroe Street, Rockville, MD 20850. A brief resume including home and work phone 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.
