An Update from the Office of Community Engagement and Constituent Services (CECS)
Virtual Town Hall: Meet the New Bosses
Dear Community Leaders and Members of Anne Arundel County,

As a community organizer the secrecy of government was my greatest frustration. Who are the people in positions of power, and what values do they bring to their work?

Tomorrow night, I will pull back the veil. Let’s get to know my new Chief of Staff Dr. Kai Boggess-de Bruin and our new Chief Administrative Officer Matt Power.

Let’s talk about why I put them in these jobs and what we hope to deliver for the people of Anne Arundel County.

We hope that you will share your questions and comments with us during the event via Facebook and by email in advance at [email protected]. Click here to be directed to the Facebook event.

Community Meetings Have Gone Virtual!
Residents can now view a calendar of upcoming community meetings in their area, review site plans and other documents, attend virtual meetings, watch previously recorded meetings, and provide public comments directly to the Office of Planning and Zoning - all through the new  Community Meetings website. The first set of meetings start the week of July 20th, see a snapshot below.

We hope this new process expands community participation in ways we could not have imagined before the crisis. This is just another big example of how we can Build Back Better!
