DUNCAN SEEKS APPLICANTS 
FOR COMMISSION ON CHILD CARE         For Immediate Release (Dec. 15, 1996)


     County Executive Douglas M. Duncan is seeking applicants to fill six
vacancies on the Montgomery County Commission on Child Care.  Two vacancies
are in the business/general public category, one vacancy is for a parent of a
child or children in child care, and three vacancies are for providers of
child care. One vacancy for a provider of child care is a partial-term
expiring in March 1998. Applicants who previously responded to news release 
96-406 will be considered for these additional vacancies also. Four incumbents
are eligible for reappointment.  
     The 25-member commission advises the County Executive and County Council
on government policies, programs and services that enhance community support
for high quality, affordable and accessible child care.  The commission also
helps the County Department of Family Resources, Division on Children, Youth
and Families, develop initiatives to help families meet their child care
needs.
     Members generally serve three-year terms without compensation.  The full
commission meets the third Wednesday of each month and subcommittee meetings
are held once or twice a month.
