ADVISORY BOARD SEEKS APPLICANTS

County Executive Douglas M. Duncan is seeking applicants to fill two partial-term alternate

The board is composed of 12 regular members and three alternates. Alternates serve in place
of an absent member and assume a regular member's position if there is a resignation. Members
must reside in the western area of Montgomery County (Bethesda/Potomac/Chevy Chase). Residents
who live within the city limits of Rockville are not eligible for appointment. Members serve three-
years terms without compensation. Meetings are usually held the second Thursday of the month.
Interested residents should apply by February 27 to County Executive Douglas M. Duncan at
the Executive Office Building, l0l Monroe Street, Rockville, MD 20850. A letter and brief resume,
including work and home phone numbers, should be enclosed. Individuals representing special
populations, minorities, and other special interest groups are encouraged to apply. 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.
