County Commission on Health Vacancy
County Executive Marc Elrich Seeks Applicants for Commission on Health
County Executive Marc Elrich is seeking applicants to fill seven vacancies on the Commission on Health, for consumer and provider representatives. All members must reside or have a primary place of business in Montgomery County. The majority of the members must not be providers. Persons with an interest or background in public health are encouraged to apply. Three incumbents are eligible to apply for reappointment.
The Commission consists of 19 voting members, representing a cross section of consumers and providers of health care. The Commission advises the County Executive and County Council on public health programs and services, and comments on any gaps, efficiencies or duplication of efforts. The group reports each year to the Executive and Council on a variety of health issues.
Members serve three-year terms without compensation, but are eligible for reimbursement for travel and dependent care for in-person meetings attended. The Commission currently meets virtually by video conference and teleconference on the third Thursday of each month at 6:00 PM, with one in-person meeting held annually in Rockville.
The application deadline is August 28, 2026.
Applicants of diverse backgrounds, professions, genders, geography, disabilities, ethnicities, and ages are encouraged to apply. Members of County boards, committees, and commissions may not serve on more than one such group at a time. The County Executive’s appointments are generally subject to confirmation by the County Council. Members must complete training on the Maryland Open Meetings Act, Montgomery County Ethics Law, and basic parliamentary procedure. Members are eligible for reimbursement for travel and dependent care for in-person meetings attended. County boards, committees, and commissions may meet virtually by video and/or teleconference.
