The County Executive and County Council encourage people who live or work in Montgomery County to become actively involved in matters affecting the quality of life in Montgomery County. Public participation contributes to the work of County government and provides an important service to the community when a variety of issues, concerns, and viewpoints are presented. Appointments to over 80 Boards, Committees, and Commissions (BCCs) are made by the County Executive, and confirmed by the County Council. Generally, BCCs meet one or two evenings per month, have three year terms, and are advisory in nature. Applicants of diverse ages, backgrounds, professions, gender, geography, disability and ethnicity are encouraged to apply. Vacancies are advertised on the County’s website, and through the County’s eSubscription service, and published by area newspapers.
