Duncan Seeks Applicants For
Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse
Advisory Council

County Executive Douglas M. Duncan is seeking applicants to fill two vacancies on the Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Advisory Council. One vacancy must be filled by a clergy representative, and one vacancy must be filled by a person who represents the multi-cultural diversity of the County.

Members serve three-year terms without compensation and meet the second Thursday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in Rockville.

The Council advises the Department of Health and Human Services, the County Executive, and the County Council in identifying local alcohol and other drug abuse program needs, assists in the development of plans to meet those needs, makes recommendations in the budget process relative to those programs, and promotes public education regarding alcoholism and other drug abuse.

Applicants should write by November 6 to County Executive Douglas M. Duncan at the Executive Office Building, 101 Monroe St., Rockville, Md 20850. Applicants should indicate the type of slot for which they are applying. A brief resume that includes home and business telephone numbers should be enclosed. Members of County boards, committees and commissions may not serve on more that 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 confirmations process.
