Colleagues:
Annually the President of Montgomery College submits an operating budget request to the County Executive. After receiving that request, the County Executive makes a recommendation to the County Council on all County funded operating budget requests. This year the County Executive recommended that the Council fully fund the College’s FY 2022 operating budget request.
The County Council holds operating budget request hearings in April and typically, representatives from the College testify at these hearings. The schedule and links to this year’s hearings are listed below. This year Jarvis Slacks English-R will be representing the Chapter by testifying on our behalf. I’ve attached a copy of his testimony to this e-mail. I encourage each of you to take the time to read his testimony and to tune into the hearings that are happening this week.

On behalf of the Chapter, I’d like to extend our thanks to Jarvis for representing us at these hearings. I would also like to extend our thanks to the other representatives of the College who will be testifying in support of our operating budget request.
