Welcome to the official website of the East County Citizens Advisory Board (ECCAB).  The Board serves as a liaison between the East County community and local government officials and agencies.  Our purpose is to advocate and inform on issues of importance to the residents of the East County.  

ECCAB meetings are held the first Wednesday of every month (except August) at 7:15 p.m. at the East County Regional Services Center, 3300 Briggs Chaney Road, Silver Spring, MD.

The Board hears information on issues ranging from economic development and zoning, to immigration and education.  Of particular focus this year will be plans for construction of the East County Science Center, the continuing revitalization of Burtonsville, as well as public safety concerns in the Briggs Chaney corridor.

The first 15 minutes of every meeting are dedicated to hearing the issues and concerns of members of the community.  You are strongly encouraged to attend and voice any concerns you�d like the Board to consider taking action on.

You are also encouraged to check this website regularly to view minutes from our monthly meetings, as well as to learn about upcoming workshops, forums, and events.

Be involved, stay informed, let your voice be heard!

Marva R. Deskins, Esq.
