For Board To Help Victims
Of Hate/Violence

     County Executive Douglas M. Duncan is seeking applicants to fill five full and partial-
term  vacancies on the Partnership Board for Victims of Hate/Violence.  Three members are
eligible to apply for reappointment.  The seven-member board was created to give citizens a
chance to participate in Montgomery County's efforts to eradicate acts 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 Feb. 13 to County Executive Douglas M. Duncan at the
Executive Office Building, l0l Monroe St., 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.
