Duncan Seeks Applicants For
Committee On Hate/Violence

County Executive Douglas M. Duncan is seeking applicants to fill eight full and partial-term vacancies on the Committee on Hate/Violence. Four incumbents are eligible to apply for reappointment.

The Committee develops and distributes information about hate/violence in the County and promotes the positive value of ethnic and social diversity. The Committee advises the County Executive, County Council, and County agencies about hate/violence in the County, and recommends policies, programs, legislation, or regulations to help reduce the incidence of such acts.

The Committee consists of 15 voting members who are County residents and six ex-officio, non-voting members from government agencies, Montgomery County Public Schools and Montgomery College.

The voting members reflect the geographic, economic and social diversity of the County with at least nine members identified with target groups frequently victimized by hate/violence. At least two members are parents of school-age children and at least one member represents the business community. Members serve without compensation and meet the second Wednesday evening of the month.

Interested citizens should write by March 15 to County Executive Douglas M. Duncan at the Executive Office Building, 101 Monroe Street, Rockville MD 20850. A brief resume including both business and home telephone numbers should also 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. Applicants of those selected for appointment are made public as part of the confirmation process
