Specific objectives of the Committee are to emphasize the linguistic and cultural diversity of the County, to identify special needs of the ethic community, and to promote maximum involvement of all ethnic groups in the County's government, business and community affairs.

Applicants should write by February 20 to County Executive Douglas M. Duncan at the Executive Office Building, 101 Monroe Street, Rockville, MD 20850.

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 these selected for appointment are made public as part of the confirmation process.
