COUNTY SEEKS APPLICANTS FOR
HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION             For Immediate Release (August 20, 1997)


     County Executive Douglas M. Duncan is seeking applicants to fill five
vacancies on the Montgomery County Human Relations Commission. Two members are
eligible for reappointment.  
     The 15-member commission promotes equal rights and opportunities for all
persons. Commissioners are expected to serve on special or standing committees
and participate in activities requiring involvement in the community. Regular
meetings are held the fourth Monday evening of each month.  Members serve
without compensation and are required to file annual financial disclosure
statements.
     Interested citizens should write by September 19 to County Executive
Douglas M. Duncan at the Executive Office Building, 101 Monroe Street,
Rockville, MD  20850.  A brief resume including home and work telephone
numbers should be enclosed. Interviews with a select panel are also part of
the process.  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.
